My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?

View allI recently got my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried. They showed that I have high blood pressure and elevated liver enzymes, with my SGPT at 57 UL and SGOT at 50 UL. My doctor prescribed Atoris for the blood pressure, but I heard it might not be good for people with high SGPT and SGOT levels. Could you let me know if that's true and what I should do?

I'm trying to figure out how much rosuvastatin I should be taking. I'm a diabetic and my blood sugar is managed with medication. I also have hypertension that's under control with medication. I'm not taking aspirin. Could you help me understand how many milligrams I need? Also, between rosuvastatin and atorvastatin, which one would be better for me?
Based on your lipid profile and medical history, it is recommended to start with rosuvastatin. The usual starting dose for rosuvastatin in your case would be 10 mg once daily. It is important to monitor your lipid levels regularly and adjust the dose as needed to achieve the target levels. Atorvastatin can also be effective, but based on current guidelines, rosuvastatin is preferred for its potency and efficacy in lowering cholesterol levels. Start with rosuvastatin 10 mg once daily and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
