I'm really concerned about my mom's health. Her ESR levels are incredibly high, sitting at 155, and she's been struggling with rheumatoid arthritis. Could you help me understand whether this is something we should be worried about and what potential impacts this might have on her condition?

View allI'm a 34-year-old who doesn't smoke or drink, and I've recently found out my triglycerides level is at 367. My doctor suggested I start taking Tonact TG, but I'm worried if this medication might cause my blood sugar levels to rise. Can you let me know if I should be concerned about this?
Tonact TG contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate which are commonly used to lower triglyceride levels. Atorvastatin may slightly increase blood sugar levels in some individuals, but this effect is usually minimal. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking Tonact TG. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is 1 tablet once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage your triglyceride levels effectively.

I'm 29 and just measured my blood pressure at 13863. Is this normal, or should I think about seeing a cardiologist for more checks?
A blood pressure reading of 13863 falls within the prehypertension range. It is slightly elevated, especially the systolic reading. For individuals aged 29, it is recommended to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to help lower it. If you continue to have elevated readings, you can consider taking antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Remember to also focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to improve your overall cardiovascular health.
