Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol) is a beta-blocker medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. It is not known to increase blood cholesterol levels in the body. However, it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly, as beta-blockers can sometimes affect lipid metabolism. If someone needs to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long period of time, it is important to follow up with their healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual needs and response to the medication.

I'm a 23-year-old guy experiencing some weird chest pains that also hit my shoulders, arms, back, and even my abdomen. It's like a burning pain that moves around, and I'm worried because it's not constant. I went to the doctor, and they said my ECG is normal, but I still don't know what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of musculoskeletal pain or nerve irritation. To help with the pain in your chest, arms, shoulders, and back, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas for relief. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
