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?

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.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my husband's heart rate. His watch is recording a high pulse rate, sometimes hitting numbers as high as 160, 120, or 150, a few times a day. He doesn't have any symptoms, and his blood pressure is normal. We've done TMT, ECG, and echo tests, and they all came back normal. What could be causing these spikes?
It's good that all the cardiac tests have come back normal. A high pulse rate without any other symptoms can sometimes be due to factors such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, or even certain medications. However, since your husband is not experiencing any symptoms, it may be worth monitoring his pulse rate over a period of time to see if there are any patterns or triggers. In some cases, a high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying condition such as an overactive thyroid gland or an arrhythmia. If the high pulse rate continues or if there are any other concerning symptoms, further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be necessary. In the meantime, it may be helpful to ensure that your husband stays hydrated, gets adequate rest, and manages stress levels.

I've been experiencing this right lower chest pain every time I jog for about 5 to 10 minutes, and it's starting to worry me. I'm not sure why it keeps happening. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that usually happens and might go away on its own?

I'm really confused and could use some advice. Are Atchol 20 and Lipicard AV the same thing or do they have different functions? I've been on Lipicard AV for 7 months and I'm wondering if I can switch to Atchol 20 now. Can you help me out?
