Question

I've been prescribed two different medications, amiodarone and Carloc, and I'm a bit confused. Could you explain how they differ and whether they have similar effects? I'm really curious if they do the same thing or work differently.

Question

I've just gotten my cholesterol test results back, and I'm a bit concerned about what they mean. My Total Cholesterol is at 155 mgdl, Triglycerides at 193 mgdl, HDL at 29 mgdl, VLDL at 39 mgdl, LDL at 87 mgdl, with a TCholHDL ratio of 5.3 and an LDLHDL ratio of 3.0. Can you help me understand these numbers and suggest what steps I should take? I'm not sure if these levels are something to worry about, and I'd appreciate any advice on how to handle this.

Question

I'm curious about the Inderal LA 20 tablet. What exactly is it used for? Can it help with blood pressure, or is it meant for something else?

Question

My blood pressure has been consistently around 150100 for the last two weeks, and it's making me a little worried. I sometimes feel dizzy and really tired, almost like I just want to sleep all the time. I've heard from someone that once you start medication for BP, it becomes a lifetime thing, and if you stop, your BP will just spike up again. I'm not sure what I should do about it. Do you have any advice?
