I'm a bit concerned because I was on medication for blood pressure until November, but stopped after my doctor said my BP levels were normal. It's been fine for the past five months, but now I notice my home readings are at 13898. I've had 500 ml of beer each day for the last two days before this reading. Should I be worried about this change, or is there something I can try before considering going back on medication?

It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after noticing an increase like 13898. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and recent alcohol consumption, it's advisable to take action to lower your blood pressure. You can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can consider taking medication again as prescribed by your doctor to help control your blood pressure. If these measures do not lower your blood pressure, it's essential to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a 44-year-old guy and I've been feeling really tired lately. I'm also having a tough time dealing with the cold. Could this be because my cholesterol levels are high? I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh around 90 kg. How do I figure out if my cholesterol is actually high?

I'm a bit concerned about my health. My blood pressure is sitting at 13585. My cholesterol levels show 141 for cholesterol, 296 for triglycerides, 21 for HDL, 76 for LDL, and 59 for VLDL. My HDL cholesterol ratio is 6.73, and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.62. My blood sugar fasting level is at 91, and I have a mild fatty liver. I'm currently taking Olmity AM 25 and Stanlip 145, each one tablet daily. Is this the right treatment plan, or should I be considering any other medications? I'd appreciate your guidance on this.
Based on your current medication and health parameters, your blood pressure and lipid profile are within acceptable ranges. However, your HDL cholesterol levels are low, and your triglyceride levels are high. To address this, you can consider adding a medication like "Atorva TG" (Atorvastatin 10mg + Fenofibrate 160mg) to help improve your lipid profile. It is important to continue monitoring your levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently did a master health check-up and found my LDL cholesterol is at 120. The ECG shows "sinus rhythm incomplete right bundle branch block." The doctor prescribed Arvast 10 mg and suggested I start walking. I noticed my MCV is at 54, lymphocytes at 45, ALT in the liver function test is 51, and serum urea is 15. Does everything look normal in the report, especially with the ECG?
may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. As for your medication, ARVAST 10 Mg is a common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, maintaining a regular walking routine as advised by your doctor can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health. Regarding your other test results, a MCV of 54 is within the normal range. A lymphocyte count of 45 is also within normal limits. An ALT level of 51 is slightly elevated, which may indicate some liver inflammation or damage. For this, you may consider taking medication to improve liver function.
