Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health condition.

I'm wondering if sticking to a good diet and regular exercise will help get everything back to normal, or should I be thinking about getting some more tests done, like maybe an ECG?

I'm wondering if taking a beta blocker before getting an ECG might hide any signs of a heart attack. Could it affect the results or mask any important signals that might indicate a problem?
Taking a beta blocker before an ECG can indeed affect the results by potentially masking or hiding signals of a heart attack. Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which may impact the ECG readings. It is generally recommended to avoid taking beta blockers before an ECG if there is suspicion of a heart attack. If you are scheduled for an ECG and are taking beta blockers, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about whether to temporarily stop the medication before the test.

I'm looking at my lipid profile and I'm a bit worried because my triglycerides are 361. My LDL is at 76, and my HDL is 35. The total cholesterol while fasting came out to 134. I'm not sure what steps I should be taking to bring my triglyceride levels down. Any advice?
To lower your triglyceride levels, you can start by making some lifestyle changes. You should focus on a healthy diet that is low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise is also important in managing triglyceride levels. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower your triglycerides. One common medication that is often prescribed for high triglycerides is Fenofibrate. The usual dosage for Fenofibrate is 145 mg once daily. Remember to always follow your doctor's advice and recommendations for managing your lipid profile.
