View allI'm really curious about something. I took 20mg of tadalafil about four days ago and noticed that my usual heart rate, which is in the 70s or 80s, has dropped to the 60s. Could tadalafil be causing this change in heart rate? Should I be concerned?
Tadalafil, commonly known as Cialis, is not typically known to directly reduce heart rate as a common side effect. However, it is possible for some individuals to experience changes in heart rate as a result of using tadalafil. In your case, the decrease in heart rate from the 70-80s range to the 60s range could be a potential effect of tadalafil. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if you have any concerns or experience any other unusual symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing some pain in my hand after the angiogram test. Could you let me know what might help ease it? Im a bit worried about why this is happening.
After an angiogram test, it is common to experience some pain or discomfort at the site where the procedure was done. To help reduce the pain in your hand, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because my cholesterol is still high even after changing my diet and starting to walk regularly for the last four months. I was really hoping these changes would help. My doctor prescribed Rosubest 10mg, and I'm worried about whether this medication could affect my liver. I had a grade 2 fatty liver before and my LFT blood report showed inflammation. Could taking this tablet make that worse? Just trying to get a sense of what I should look out for.
Rosuvastatin (Rosubest 10mg) can potentially affect liver function, especially with a pre-existing grade 2 fatty liver and elevated LFTs; however, your doctor may have considered this risk and prescribed it under careful monitoring; ensure regular liver function tests (every 6-12 weeks) and report any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments.
