Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and the medications you have tried, it seems like you are experiencing persistent tachycardia and palpitations despite the treatment. Since your cardiologist mentioned stress as a possible cause, it may take some time to see improvement as managing stress levels can be a gradual process. In addition to the medications you are currently taking (betacap tr 40 and daxid 25mg), your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or trying other medications to better control your symptoms. It is important to continue following up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Regarding monitoring your heart rate, while devices like the Apple Watch can provide useful information, they may not always be as accurate as medical-grade monitoring devices. If you are experiencing persistent symptoms and want more accurate heart rate monitoring, you may consider investing in a dedicated heart rate monitor recommended by your healthcare provider. It is essential to continue working closely with your cardiologist to address your symptoms effectively and monitor your progress over time.

Accepted Answer

From your blood test results showing high LDL and NON HDL levels, along with your symptoms of bloating and nervousness, it is important to address your cholesterol levels and digestive issues. To lower your LDL and NON HDL levels, I recommend starting a medication called Atorvastatin. Additionally, since you are experiencing bloating with dairy products, you can try taking a lactase enzyme supplement like Lactaid before consuming dairy to help with digestion. It is also advisable to follow a low-cholesterol diet and engage in regular physical activity to improve your overall health. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.
