I'm really worried because he's been taking Stamlo 5 once a day, but lately, his blood pressure still seems really high, around 109 low and 180 high. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there something else we should be doing to help manage it?

I would recommend increasing the dosage of Stamlo to Stamlo 10 (Amlodipine 10mg) once a day to better control his blood pressure levels. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've been feeling a bit worried. I'm 14 and I've noticed my heart starts to race, like palpitations, especially after I've had a lot of sugar or after I've been really stressed out for a couple of days. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about this?

Heart palpitations in young individuals can sometimes be triggered by excessive sugar intake and stress. It is important to monitor your sugar consumption and practice stress management techniques. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Propranolol 10mg to help with the palpitations. However, if the palpitations persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing some strong side effects like muscle pain, dizziness, and shaky hands and legs from taking Rozavel and Pivasta. Are there any realistic alternatives or supplements in the Indian market that could lower my LDL by around 15-20% without serious side effects? I've heard about things like Coeveleselam, but I'd love to know more.

U can try exercise and diet control with low dose artorvastatin
