I'm really worried about what to do if a family member, like my mom or dad, ever has chest pain, starts sweating a lot, or has pain in the arm or shoulder. What if they start vomiting too? I mean, in that moment, can I give them aspirin or sorbitrate? And if so, how much should I give? Could you explain how to properly administer it? I'm a bit anxious about this and not really sure about the right steps.

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.

I'm having some neck and shoulder pain and got an ECG done. The results mentioned something called "middling left axis deviation." Can you explain what this might mean?

Due to neck and shoulders pain, the ECG showing middling left axis deviation may indicate a possible heart condition. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief.
