I'm trying to figure out if it's safe to include curd or milk in the diet for someone with high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol. Is there any benefit or should they be avoided?

Azithromycin (Azipro 500) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. The usual dosage for adults with a sore throat is 500 mg once daily for 3 days. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed by the pharmacist. In addition to Azithromycin, you can also try over-the-counter remedies such as throat lozenges, warm salt water gargles, and staying hydrated to help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

View allI'm experiencing heart palpitations, a fluttering feeling in my chest, and shortness of breath. I've already had an ECG, TMT, and echo scan, and all of the results came back normal. Why might this be happening?
Heart palpitations, fluttering, and shortness of breath can be caused by various factors, even if your ECG, TMT, and echo scan results are normal. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. However, other causes such as thyroid disorders, electrolyte imbalances, or certain medications can also lead to these symptoms. In your case, since your reports are normal, I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and fluttering. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial in reducing these symptoms.

I've been having this slight pain in my left chest for the past three days and it's starting to worry me. What should I do?
This chest pain could be due to various reasons, including muscle strain, acid reflux, or even heart-related issues. However, it's important to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
