I've been having these sudden chills or a cold feeling in my chest while I'm asleep, and it's been happening on and off, like a couple of times a week for the last few months. I already saw a cardiologist and did some tests to make sure it's not heart disease because I'm a 35-year-old guy who was recently told I have hypertension. Can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?

I've been dealing with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels for about three years now, and I've been keeping track of them regularly. I'm really concerned and would like some advice on medications that might help manage these levels. What would you suggest?

Hi, for high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. Additionally, Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) can be added at a dose of 145 mg once daily to help lower triglyceride levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your levels and adjust the dosage if needed.
