  5. I've been feeling kind of uncomfortable in my chest, mostly at night, and sometimes the pain stretches out to my left arm. On top of that, I've been dealing with this left side neck pain and a bit of an ache in my upper back. Do you think I should be worried about this or is it something that might go away on its own? What could it be?

The symptoms you are describing could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for potential heart-related chest pain. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption. Remember to call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.

To help control your high cholesterol naturally, in addition to taking Zivast (atorvastatin) 10 mg and exercising, you can include several beneficial ingredients in your daily diet. These include: 1. Soluble Fiber: Found in oats, barley, beans, lentils, fruits (such as apples, pears, and berries), and vegetables. Soluble fiber helps reduce the absorption of cholesterol in your bloodstream. 2. Healthy Fats: Include sources of unsaturated fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Replace saturated fats found in red meat and full-fat dairy with these healthier options. 3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as in flaxseeds and chia seeds. Omega-3s can help lower triglycerides and improve heart health. 4. Plant Sterols and Stanols: Naturally found in small amounts in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, and vegetable oils. Some fortified foods also contain added plant sterols. 5. Garlic: Has been shown to have cholesterol-lowering properties. Incorporate fresh garlic into your meals. 6. Green Tea: Contains antioxidants that may help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Maintaining a balanced diet with these ingredients, along with your medication and exercise, will support your efforts to manage your cholesterol
