I'm dealing with a frequent dry cough and I'm always thirsty. Drinking water helps a bit with my throat irritation, but I'm worried. I have hypertension and diabetes, so I'm wondering if these symptoms are related to my existing conditions. What should I do about this?

I've been dealing with lumbar radiculopathy and am finally in the recovery phase. I recently got my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are at 180. Should I be worried about this level? What can I do to bring those numbers down?

A triglyceride level of 180 mgdL is slightly above the normal range. To reduce your triglyceride levels, you can make some lifestyle changes such as: - Following a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars - Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts - Exercising regularly - Limiting alcohol consumption - Quitting smoking if you smoke In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medication to help lower your triglyceride levels. One common medication used for this purpose is Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-80 mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

I'm dealing with a fever and a cold right now, plus my body aches quite a bit. My calves are really hurting today too, which is new for me. I'm also feeling a bit weak overall. Should I be worried? Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

your symptoms could be related to a variety of illnesses, with the flu or a viral infection being the most likely causes. Rest, hydration, and mild pain relievers like paracetmol can help you manage symptoms in the short term, but if they persist or worsen, it's important to see a healthcare provider
