Accepted Answer

Palpitations can be concerning, especially if you have high LDL levels. To help manage your palpitations and lower your LDL levels, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as exercising regularly and following a heart-healthy diet. In addition, your doctor may prescribe you a medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg to help lower your LDL levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Based on your blood pressure readings and family history of hypertension, it is important to monitor and manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables, and stress management techniques. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help lower your blood pressure. A common medication for hypertension is Losartan, starting at a dose of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Accepted Answer

Tonact TG contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate which are commonly used to lower triglyceride levels. Atorvastatin may slightly increase blood sugar levels in some individuals, but this effect is usually minimal. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking Tonact TG. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is 1 tablet once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage your triglyceride levels effectively.
