Question

I've been prescribed Lipicure 10 mg and I'm a bit worried about how long I should be taking it. My LDL cholesterol level is 169 and I'm not sure if that's considered high. Can you give me some guidance on the duration I should continue this medication? I'm feeling a little anxious about managing my cholesterol effectively.

Question

I'm experiencing heaviness and palpitations in my chest along with heartburn. I've gone through several tests like ECG, Echo, stress TMT, and stress MPI, and they all came back normal. But I still feel these symptoms sometimes and have visited many cardiologists without finding a solution. They say it's anxiety, yet I sleep well at night. Do you have any advice or suggestions for further tests? And is it okay if I drink chamomile tea at night?

Question

I'm a 34-year-old woman and recently got some abnormal test results back, and I'm really anxious about what they could mean. My doctor ordered these tests because I've been having dizziness and feeling light-headed a lot. My blood work from six months ago was all normal and I havent had any infections recently. I've never had any heart issues before, so I'm not sure what these numbers could indicate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
