I'm a bit worried because I checked my pulse rate this afternoon and it was 92. Is that normal for women? Could there be something I should be concerned about?

View allI'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.

I've been struggling with this issue for about two years now, and I'm really hoping for some insight. I'm a 27-year-old I.T. professional and this all started with sudden bouts of dizziness and sweating. I've gone through all the usual tests, like MRI and blood work, and the only thing that came up was a low B12 level at 83. Over time, I've begun feeling detached, and my doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. The problem hasnt gone away though, and now I sometimes experience fluttering, dizziness, and vomiting. It feels like I might faint, but I never actually do. I've had TMT and ECG tests twice, and both were normal. I worry it could be some kind of arrhythmia, but during these episodes, my heart rate seems stable with no major changes. It's confusing because these episodes don't seem linked to stress and only last a few seconds. I'm really anxious about this and just looking for a professional perspective on what's happening.
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of panic attacks, which can be very distressing. The dizziness, sweating, fluttering sensation, vomiting, and feeling like you might pass out are all common symptoms of panic attacks. Since your heart rate remains normal during these episodes and your cardiac tests (TMT, ECG) have come back normal, it is less likely to be related to arrhythmia. One possible treatment option for your symptoms could be to take an anti-anxiety medication such as **Xanax (Alprazolam)**. The usual starting dose for adults is 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg taken three times a day. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication. In addition to medication, therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can also be very effective in managing panic attacks. It can help you understand and cope with the triggers of your anxiety. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and response to treatment. If you continue to experience these episodes despite treatment, further evaluation may be needed.

My dad's heart is only pumping at 19% capacity, and I'm really worried about him. He's also been dealing with diabetes and recently had some edema issues. Is there anything we can do to help improve his heart function?
I recommend that your father's condition be managed with medications such as Carvedilol (Coreg) to help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. Additionally, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with the edema by reducing fluid retention. It is important to closely monitor his diabetes as well to keep his blood sugar levels under control. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications can also help improve heart function.
