I'm curious about something. Can heart attacks cause just pain in the left arm with no chest pain at all? I've been feeling a bit of pain in my left arm, like above the elbow and sometimes near the shoulder. Should I be worried? Can heart issues manifest as only arm pain and not have any chest pain involved?

View allI've been trying to eat better and exercise a bit more, but I'm worried because my triglyceride levels are still going up. Last year they were 286, and now they're 365. I've been taking fish liver oil and eating flax seeds regularly. Do you have any advice on what else I could do?
Statins and fibrates are medications that can help lower triglycerides. Statins primarily lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, but they can also modestly reduce triglycerides. Fibrates are specifically effective at lowering triglyceride levels

I'm a bit concerned because I just started taking Telma 20mg and today I've been feeling dizzy and really tired. Is that a normal reaction? I checked my blood pressure and it's 14092. What should I do about this?
Starting on Telma (telmisartan) 20mg can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness and fatigue, especially when your body is adjusting to the medication. These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or during the initial days of treatment. Your current blood pressure reading of 14092 mmHg indicates that it is still elevated. Its important to monitor your symptoms and blood pressure closely. If the dizziness and fatigue persist or worsen, please contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment plan.
