What Are The Side Effects Of Rosuvastatin For High Cholesterol Level?
Sir, what are side effects of Rosuvastatin, a medicine to manage high cholesterol? Can i have this medicine short term and stop? My email ID is YYYY@YYYY . Details: Triglycerides 192 Cholesterol Total 231 HDL cholesterol 58 LDL cholesterol 135 VLDL cholesterol 38 Total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio 3.9.
I already have a tendency for migraine if i eat oily food, so i have reduced oil intake in my daily diet to almost nil - breakfast & lunch. Breakfast is most often sugarless & saltless oats with banana. This has been the case for the last 2 years or so.
However, evenings i am inclined to 'stress-eating' and that is the time i indulge a bit in frieds foods. Within limits i am good, but beyind that i start a migraine late at night, much after eating this.
Thanks, just wanted to give an idea of my diet as well.
