Question 1

I've been fasting for the past few days for Ramadan and I'm 30 years old. I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing this slight pain in my left chest whenever I take a deep breath. Could this be related to fasting, like maybe from not eating for 12 hours? Is there something specific I should be worried about, and should I be taking any medication for it?

Question 3

I've been dealing with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels for about three years now, and I've been keeping track of them regularly. I'm really concerned and would like some advice on medications that might help manage these levels. What would you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Hi, for high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. Additionally, Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) can be added at a dose of 145 mg once daily to help lower triglyceride levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your levels and adjust the dosage if needed.

I'm using an Omron HEM 7120 BP monitor at home and I'm curious about its accuracy. How does it compare to using a manual blood pressure monitor?
