What are the causes of breathing issues?

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I sometimes have problems breathing, and my body gets warm. Could you please help me with this?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your reports. Do you have any history of chest pain or heaviness during exertion? I have noted a few abnormalities (attachment removed to protect patient identity):

  1. Deranged lipid profile: Your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, considered as bad cholesterol, along with triglycerides, are elevated. You need to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a low-fat, less oily, and low-calorie diet, along with regular exercise, such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes a day. You will also need medication: take one tablet of Rosuvastatin 10 mg at bedtime for eight weeks, then repeat the lipid profile after that period.
  2. Low vitamin D: You should take vitamin D supplements. Additionally, try to sit in the early morning sunlight daily for some time. Take one tablet of vitamin D3 60,000 units once a week for eight weeks, followed by once a month for six months.
  3. Other parameters are fine, and the figures in bold are not necessarily abnormal. There is a slight derangement in liver enzymes, likely due to fatty liver. Please check your blood pressure once.

I hope this information helps.

Thank you.
