I've been taking Ciplar LA 20 for the past 40 days as prescribed by my doctor who recommended continuing it for another 30 days. Today, after washing my car, I felt really tired and had a light headache that went away after resting. Then, when I drove about 15 km to a ceremony, I felt restless and had another light headache. While driving, I experienced a brief moment of dizziness. Could this be due to acidity, or are these side effects of Ciplar? What do you suggest I do?

The symptoms you are experiencing such as tiredness, light headache, restlessness, and dizziness could be potential side effects of Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol). These side effects are commonly reported with this medication. It is important to monitor these symptoms and discuss them with your doctor. If you are experiencing discomfort, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. They may adjust the dosage or recommend an alternative treatment based on your individual health condition.

I've been experiencing this really weird thing where I suddenly get dizzy and faint after using the bathroom. I woke up this last time with a hurt nose, and it's actually the third time it's happened over the past five years. The first two times, I had a fever, so I figured that was the cause, but this time I'm not sick. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but no one seems to figure it out. They keep asking if I have issues with my BP or if I'm feeling hot. I dont have any of these problems normally, so Im really puzzled. Could there be something else going on that were missing?

Question

I've recently found out that my total cholesterol is 240, and my LDL cholesterol is 189. Should I be worried about these levels? Is it necessary for me to start taking medication to lower them, or can I manage it through other means? I'm aware these numbers are higher than normal, but I'm not sure I can stick to a strict diet. What do you recommend?
