I'm wondering if my consistently high heart rate, which usually ranges between 97 and 116, could be linked to my high triglycerides. Could high cholesterol be a reason for this elevated heart rate? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be going on with my heart health.

View allI'm 28 and I've noticed my blood pressure is around 160100 lately. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and how I can bring it down naturally?
High blood pressure can be caused by various factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and genetics. To reduce high blood pressure naturally, you can try the following. Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your salt intake. Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming. Manage stress through techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking. Ensure an adequate amount of quality sleep. Consider incorporating foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium into your diet. If these lifestyle changes do not effectively lower your blood pressure, you may need medication.

I'm a 32-year-old who got over Covid about a month ago, and I just got some test results back. Most things look okay, but I'm a bit concerned about my lipid profile. Here's what it says: Total cholesterol is 184, triglycerides are at 286, HDL cholesterol is 38, LDL is 88.8, and VLDL is 57.2. My CRP is 4.5, platelets are 152, D-dimer is 0.34, and ferritin is 113. Should I be worried about these numbers, and do I need to start any meds?
Based on your lipid profile results, it appears that your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your lipid profile. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations.
