Lipitor
Question: I ask for guidance in the right choice when Lipitor giperholesterimii – until he took Zokora 10, but effectively reduce cholesterol was not; now 2 months. take Lipitor 10, appeared in muscle weakness, tremor, and the impact is obvious, cholesterol was = 4. Can it act Lipitor? Back to the low efficiency of Zokora? My choice? Thank you for your reply.
Answer: Atorvastatin – one of the most effective current drugs for lowering cholesterol. Unfortunately, perhaps the relationship between intake of atorvastatin (Lipitor) and the development of weakness in the muscles (myopathy). I recommend you pass the biochemical analysis of blood to the definition of CPK. If the activity of this enzyme increased by more than 10 times, then, unfortunately, this drug you should not drink. This side effect is relatively non-hazardous (to be held after the cancellation). There is option to suspend (a month) to drink the drug, and then again to resume. In any case, you need to report suspected side effect of the doctor who prescribed you the drug.

Answer: We examined you, Sergey, specifically. Can you say with a high probability the following. 1. You do not have CHD. 2. Your symptoms – from hiatal hernia. Sleep with a raised head end, is not 3 hours before sleep, lose weight 10 kg, avoid fatty foods, chocolate, peppermint, alcohol, coca-cola, red wine, orange juice, smoking. Avoid compressing clothing. When you receive full-time physician you designate a group of drugs proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. This should help. 3. If you lower your cholesterol, then in 10 years will really hurt my heart. This – the first bell. Hypocholesterolic diet (found on the Internet), exercise – brisk walking, biking, swimming, lose weight (!). 4. Spine bad, look for a competent specialist in degenerative disc disease, manualschika can be (but Target and reviews of friends, but not for advertising, it does not help everyone).
Races pressure

Appointed: veroshpiron, kardiket – for pain in the heart, egilok – until the end of life, kardiomagnil – until the end of life, preduktal to drink – the beginning of the pressure drop. The lowest was 64-45, and stopped taking kardiket veroshpiron-was better, but the pressure began to jump – is 169/91, then 97/72. Pain in the heart are not as long and strong, but still there. Please advise what else you can take?
Answer: Dear Ariadna, a diagnosis of angina by echocardiography and Doppler not put this clinical diagnosis. For angina unusual with nagging pain in my left side lasting all day, I recommend that you seem neurologist. As pressure surges, they are linked to neotregulirovannostyu regime supplementation. Kardiket not need to drink until you. There must Egilok 25 mg 2 times a day, then be up to 50 mg, kardiomagnil, preduktal – it's all necessary. If possible, do a daily blood pressure monitoring, then we will adjust the dose. Unfortunately, not seeing you, I can not advise on anything else so little information that you provided.

Answer: Dear Edward, something I do not see you on the list of designated drugs beta-blockers. So many nitrates (monochinkve, plaster депонит) are useless, they can develop tolerance. I recommend you discuss with the doctor the appointment of beta-blockers (metoprolol, bisoprolol).
Elevated bilirubin while taking statins
Question: Good day! 10. 07. 09 I had a heart attack. Agree Concor 5 mg, omakor, kardiomagnil 150 mg, preduktal-MB 2 x 35 mg, 10 mg tulip. Periodically, I hand over a blood test. Growing bilirubin total: 8. 09. 09 – 23,8; 19. 10. 09 – 26,3. Bilirubin direct – 3,2 and 4,5. ALT and AST were normal. The doctor said a month not to take tulip, then re-check the bilirubin. Seems tulip planting the liver. If you do not take tulip, what is the probability of formation of plaques in the vessels of the heart and the recurrence of a heart attack?
Answer: Dear Victor, a sign of toxic liver injury is not increased bilirubin and increased AST and ALT. You are normal, so to speak of "planting liver wrongfully. Statins should be taken, it prolongs life. When you receive a statin is considered normal AST and ALT levels increased up to 2 rules. Believe me, in the food we eat every day, much more "chemistry" than in the statin pill.
