I'm really concerned because I've noticed my heartbeat is pretty low, around 44 beats per minute. There are moments when I feel completely exhausted, and at times, it's hard for me to breathe, almost like I might pass out. It's really scary. Could this be something serious? What should I do?

View allI've got some concerns about my cholesterol levels and was wondering if I should start taking statins. My total cholesterol is 196, LDL is 130, HDL is 35, and triglycerides are 101. I weigh 60 kg, my height is 169 cm, and I exercise regularly while sticking to an oil-free diet. I'm on Thyronorm 50 for hypothyroidism. I don't usually feel bad, but I get breathless climbing 2 or 3 floors. All my tests like ECG, 2D echo, and TMT have come back normal. Should I be worried about starting medication?
Based on your total cholesterol of 196, LDL of 130, HDL of 35, and triglycerides of 101, along with your symptoms of feeling breathless when climbing 2 to 3 floors, you may benefit from taking a statin drug to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of cardiovascular events. Since you are already taking Thyronorm 50 for hypothyroidism, it is important to consider any potential drug interactions with statins. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease. Remember to continue your regular exercise and oil-free diet for overall heart health.

How do I know if my chest pain is serious?
Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit.

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?
yes continue olmark 40 medication.
