I'm 36 years old and my cholesterol levels are quite high. I've got the details here: Total cholesterol is 212 mgdL, triglycerides are 333 mgdL, HDL is 33.60 mgdL, LDL is 143 mgdL, VLDL is 35.4 mgdL, and Non-HDL is 178 mgdL. My liver function tests show bilirubin total at 0.42 mgdL, bilirubin direct at 0.07 mgdL, and bilirubin indirect at 0.35 mgdL. My SGOT is 40 UL, SGPT is 34 UL, GGTP is 28 UL, ALP is 121 UL, total protein is 7.20 gdL, and albumin is 4.48 gdL with an AG ratio of 1.65. My fasting blood sugar is 102 mgdL. The doctor recommended taking Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day, but I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything else I can do to lower my cholesterol quickly. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

"Based on your cholesterol levels and liver function test results, I recommend adding Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to your current treatment with Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day. This combination can help in faster reduction of cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplement to further improve your lipid profile. Make sure to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and engage in regular physical activity to complement the medication therapy."

View allI've been feeling a rapid heartbeat and some pounding since yesterday. I checked it, and it's at 88 bpm. Is this normal? Could it be related to the cough medicine I've been taking? When should this settle down?
A heart rate of 88 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults. However, if you are feeling pounding and rapid heartbeat, it may be a side effect of the cough medicine you are taking. Some cough medicines contain ingredients that can increase heart rate as a side effect. I recommend stopping the cough medicine and consulting with your healthcare provider. If needed, you can switch to a cough medicine that does not have this side effect, such as Delsym (dextromethorphan) at a dose of 10-20 mg every 4-6 hours as needed.

I'm really concerned and a bit confused about something. After having angioplasty, I've noticed I tend to sweat a lot on my head. Im wondering if this is something common for heart patients or if it could be a sign of something else going on. What might be causing this?

I'm having trouble breathing when I lie on my back, and I've been dealing with chest pain. There's no constant cough, but I do cough sometimes, and I haven't had a fever. I've also been experiencing nausea and the urge to vomit, along with shortness of breath. Every now and then, my head spins, and I start sweating and feeling numbness in my body. It's been about 57 days now with the breathing trouble, short breath, and chest painshould I be worried? Is it safe for me to visit a hospital right now?
do chest xray and proceed further
