I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

I'm a bit worried about my dad's recent test results. The doctor recommended a 2D echo and a treadmill test for him. The 2D echo came back normal, but the treadmill test showed a positive stress result. I've heard that only 4 out of 10 times, these TMT tests are accurate, which is kinda freaking me out. If one test is normal and the other one isn't, does that mean there's something to be concerned about? Could you shed some light on this?

If TMT is normal Better to under screening Angiogram,do not neglect,visit Cardiologist for the same

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having heart palpitations and his creatinine level is at 2.4. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how we can help him get better?

Heart palpitations can be concerning, especially with a high creatinine level. To help manage heart palpitations, your father can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-50mg twice a day. It is important to also address the underlying cause of the high creatinine level, which may involve medications like Lisinopril (brand name: Prinivil) at a dosage of 10-20mg once a day to protect the kidneys. Additionally, it is crucial to follow a low-sodium diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor his condition.
