I've been having these heart palpitations lately, like a fluttering feeling in my chest, and my local cardiologist said I should take met XL 25. I've done all the tests like ECG, Echo, and TMT and everything came out normal, but I'm really nervous about starting this medication. Can you tell me if it's okay to take and what side effects I should watch out for? I'm just really not sure about it.

My mother's cholesterol level is really high at 403 mgdL, and her serum triglycerides are at 178 mgdL. What's strange is that she doesn't have any symptoms you'd usually expect with high cholesterol, like chest pain or nausea. Could you take a look at her lipid profile report and let me know what you think? I'm really worried because it doesn't add up.

Since she is not experiencing any symptoms of high cholesterol like chest pain or nausea, she may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to manage her cholesterol levels to prevent future health issues. I recommend starting her on a statin medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a low dose of 10mg daily. Additionally, she can take Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to help lower triglyceride levels. It is also important for her to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise. Regular monitoring of her lipid profile is essential to track progress.

I've been having some discomfort in my left arm, mostly around the shoulder joint and it also reaches down to my wrist. It's not super intense, but the pain is noticeable. Occasionally, I also experience a chest pain on the left side that comes and goes, but it usually feels better after I burp a few times. Does anyone know if this could be a heart issue, just gastric pain, or maybe something else? I did get a general health check-up last year, including heart tests like ECG, chest X-ray, and treadmill test, and everything was normal back then. Any thoughts on what this might be?
