I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?

View allI'm Mukesh and I've been dealing with some health issues for the last three years. My doctor told me my blood pressure is high, but my ECG is normal. My cerum creatinine is 0.91, and cholesterol levels reported in February 2017 are at t.col130, HDL 44.1, triglycerides 113.9, LDL 63.12, and VLDL 22.78. The chest X-ray came back normal too. I've been taking Tenolol 50 and Anxit 0.25 as prescribed, but I'm still having the same issues and sometimes I have trouble breathing. Could you help me understand what's going wrong and if there's anything else I should be doing?
Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure and I've been prescribed Cilaheart. Since starting it, I've been struggling with insomnia and muscle weakness. I'm really worried that the medication might be causing these problems. Can medications like this have such side effects? Also, could you suggest any alternatives to Cilaheart and maybe some lifestyle changes I can make to help with my blood pressure?

I've recently found out that my total cholesterol is 240, and my LDL cholesterol is 189. Should I be worried about these levels? Is it necessary for me to start taking medication to lower them, or can I manage it through other means? I'm aware these numbers are higher than normal, but I'm not sure I can stick to a strict diet. What do you recommend?
With a total cholesterol of 240 and LDL cholesterol of 189, it is considered high and can increase your risk for heart disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
