Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?

Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm really into sports and focus on my diet, but I've been wondering about something. Does eating high carbs actually increase VLDL cholesterol levels? And if so, what kind of carbs are more responsible for this hike? I've been sticking to complex carbs like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes. Just want to make sure I'm on the right track. Can you shed some light on this?

High carbohydrate intake, especially simple carbohydrates, can lead to an increase in VLDL cholesterol levels. Simple carbohydrates, such as those found in sugary foods and drinks, can raise VLDL levels more significantly compared to complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes are a better choice as they have a lower impact on VLDL cholesterol levels. To help lower VLDL cholesterol, you can continue consuming complex carbs like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes in your diet.

Could you help me understand the difference between ROSUVAS CV 10 and ROSUVAS CV 20? I'm wondering if it would be okay to take half a tablet of ROSUVAS CV 20 instead of a full tablet of ROSUVAS CV 10 each day?

ROSUVAS CV 10 and ROSUVAS CV 20 both contain Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel. The difference lies in the strength of the active ingredients. ROSUVAS CV 10 contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin and 75mg of Clopidogrel, while ROSUVAS CV 20 contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin and 75mg of Clopidogrel. Taking half a tablet of ROSUVAS CV 20 (which contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin) is not equivalent to taking one tablet of ROSUVAS CV 10 (which contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage as recommended by your healthcare provider. If you have any concerns about your medication regimen, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
