For high triglycerides above 800 and type 2 diabetes, I recommend starting with a combination of Fenofibrate (Tricor) 145mg once daily and Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily. These medications are effective in lowering triglyceride levels and managing cholesterol in patients with diabetes. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise are also important in managing these conditions.

Question

I've got this lump behind my right nipple that showed up about a month ago. Some days it feels tender, and other times it just sits there. I'm wondering if it could be a swollen lymph node or maybe a symptom of an STD? I've been into weightlifting for the past three months and haven't used any supplementscould that be a factor? Also, my nipple sometimes feels irritated, especially when my shirt touches it. What do you think might be going on?

Is it okay to take Sinarest while I'm on Inderal 40mg? I've been dealing with Graves' disease and was on Neo Mercazole 5mg with Inderal for months, but they recently stopped the Neo Mercazole. I'm continuing with the Inderal, and now I've got this blocked nose and watery eyes because of my sinus. Could you let me know if adding Sinarest would be alright?
