I've been experiencing palpitations when I'm trying to sleep, and it's kind of worrying me. I got my LDL levels checked, and they're about 173. What steps should I consider taking?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been thinking about getting an infrared heating panel, but I'm worried it might mess with my pacemaker because of the electromagnetic field. The company says it actually gives off less electromagnetic static than the sun, so it shouldn't be a problem. Should I be concerned about this?
Infrared heating panels typically emit low levels of electromagnetic fields, which are unlikely to interfere with a pacemaker. However, it is always best to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for personalized advice. If you experience any unusual symptoms or concerns regarding your pacemaker while using the infrared heating panel, please seek medical attention promptly.
