Question 3

My daughter is 22 and she's got a really high fever. It seems to go down a bit with Calpol 650, but her heart rate gets really fast. Her heartbeat is a lot quicker, and it's worrying me. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) as a result of the fever. In this case, you can give her Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to help reduce the fever and also help with any inflammation that may be causing the fast heart rate. Make sure to keep her well hydrated and monitor her temperature and heart rate closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels; my total cholesterol is 238, triglycerides are 285, HDL is 50, VLDL is 57, and LDL is 131. Do you think it's okay if I start taking Tonact TG to help maintain my levels?

Accepted Answer

Based on your cholesterol levels, it seems like you have high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. Tonact TG is a combination medication that contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate, which can help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol. I would recommend taking Tonact TG as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is one tablet daily, preferably at bedtime. It is important to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly in addition to taking the medication to effectively manage your cholesterol levels.

Question 5

I'm really concerned about some recent findings on my coronary vessels. I've got an 80% lesion in the LAD vessel from the proximal to the mid-long segment, and then a 70% lesion in the distal long segment. Plus, there's a 90% lesion at the ostium of ...

Accepted Answer

The condition you have described is quite serious and involves multiple blockages in your coronary arteries. To address the blockages, a combination of medications and procedures may be necessary. For the 80% lesion in the ostial portion of the LAD 3 vessel, a stent placement procedure may be considered to improve blood flow. Similarly, for the 70% lesion in the proximal to mid long segment of the LAD 3 vessel, another stent placement or angioplasty may be recommended. The 80% lesion in the distal long segment of the LAD 3 vessel may also require intervention such as stenting. For the D1 small vessel with a 90% lesion, a stent placement or angioplasty may be necessary to restore blood flow. The RCA vessel with a 100% lesion in the mid portion may require more aggressive treatment such as bypass surgery. In the meantime, medications like aspirin, clopidogrel, statins, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
