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.

I'm a 25-year-old male and have been having chest pain for the last three months, along with a pulling sensation in my left hand. I got ECG and TMT tests done two months ago, and they came back fine. But I still get this sudden sensation in my chest sometimes. My doctor mentioned it could be anxiety, and I'm really anxious about my health now. I've started yoga and meditation for the past couple of weeks, but the symptoms are still there. My palms and feet are sweating too, and the pain and pulling aren't constant. My blood pressure is normal, I don't have high cholesterol, and there's no family history of heart issues. What can I do to overcome this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thats clearly anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for a better treatment and counselling and also practice meditation and breathing excercises,take adequate rest and maintain healthy life style
