View allI'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?
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.

I'm really worried because I've accidentally been taking Rosuvastatin tablets instead of my Olmetrack ones. I've been taking 10mg and 20mg together every night for over a week now. I'm concerned about what effects this might have on me. Could this cause any harm or side effects? What should I do?
stop rosuvastatin and continue olmesartan .

I'm experiencing something strange over the last couple of days. My pulse rhythm seems normal, but I've been having this weird fluttering sensation in my neck, kind of a vague feeling. It usually happens after I eat. I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about. What could be causing this?
The symptoms you are describing, such as fluttering in the neck and a vague feeling, could be related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing esophageal spasms. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
