What causes pain and discomfort in chest when started roseday after angioplasty?
Patient: hi, my mother has undergone Angioplasty in Month of August 2013 an doctor has prescribed her medication Roseday a week ago and since she has started this medication she is feeling chest pain and discomfort around the area. So what should be done in this regard??? Doctor: Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understad your concern and I would like to assure you that Roseday therapy (that is lipid lowering treatment) may be associated with some side effects in certain patients, like muscle pain and break down. Some blood lab tests should be performed: AST, ALT, CPK, complete urine test, coupled with a medical ckeck up by the attending physician. If skeletal muscle involvement is confirmed, and altered blood tests are found, then Rosuvastatin should be stopped immediately.Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
