Question

Ive been noticing that when I lie down, especially on my side, I can really feel my heartbeat, and it's hard to focus on anything else. What could be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Feeling your heartbeat more prominently when lying down, especially on your side, can be due to a condition called palpitations. This can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and reducing caffeine consumption may also help.

Question

I'm 58 and was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure a few years back. I've been on lipisafe Nebilong 5mg and telcad 40 since then. It's been working because my levels are under control now, but for a while, I've been having this annoying chest pain and some joint and muscle aches. I don't know if it's the meds or something else. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.

Question

I'm having trouble getting my Telpres LN 40 prescription for my blood pressure because my doctor is unreachable and the local pharmacy doesn't have it. Could you recommend a good alternative? I'm a bit worried about not having my medication.
