Ezetimibe (brand name Zetia) can be helpful in lowering triglyceride levels. You can take Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to help reduce your triglyceride levels. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and regular exercise can also be beneficial in managing high triglycerides.

Question

I've been going through my routine check-up results, and my ECG report mentions sinus tachycardia with some changes in the ST-T section. I'm a 29-year-old guy, and aside from some allergy issues, I don't have any chronic health problems. Should I be worried about these results? Is it considered normal, or is it something I need to look deeper into?

Question

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?

Question

I've been experiencing this really painful, pinching sharp heartache that makes it hard to breathe. It's mostly in the upper part of my left chest and lasts around 2 minutes. It's happened a couple of times even when I was on an empty stomach or just had some warm lemon water. I've had it at night before dinner too. I got some blood tests done, and they said my lymphocytes were high, but sugar was normal. I often feel short of breath while sitting too, and climbing stairs always makes me breathless. This month, its happened like three times. Do you have any ideas about what this could be?
