Question

My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?

I'm dealing with high blood pressure and feeling a bit uneasy. I've been having a little pain in my left chest and sometimes in my right arm. I'm currently taking Amlovas 5mg every morning. Do you think the medication is helping enough, and is it normal for these symptoms to still be happening? Should I be worried about this pain?

Question

I've got pretty high cholesterol levels, like 267, and my LDL is around 180, but my HDL is at 60.59. I tried using statins to lower my cholesterol, but I started having some issues, like erection problems, so I had to stop. Even with changes to my diet and exercise, the lowest I could get my cholesterol down to was 234. Can you recommend any medications that won't mess with my sexual health, or maybe some natural remedies? I also tried Rosave 10, which didn't cause any sexual issues, but it did make me urinate more frequently. What should I consider next?
