I've been on planep 50mg and cidmus 50mg in the morning, plus cidmus 100mg in the evening since November 2019 because my LVEF is at 38 percent. I'm worried about it and wondering how I can improve this situation. Could you offer some advice or suggestions?

View allI had a heart attack a couple of months ago and I'm 47. They put in a stent and I've been doing okay. I walk about 5km every morning without any issues. Is it safe for me to start using a treadmill or go for some cycling now? Also, what should my pulse rate be on the treadmill panel? My resting heart rate is usually around 53. Would really appreciate your advice.
It's great that you are staying active after your heart attack. With a stent in place and your regular walking routine, you can gradually incorporate treadmill and cycling into your exercise regimen. When using the treadmill, aim to keep your heart rate within a safe range. For your age, a target heart rate during exercise is typically around 50-85% of your maximum heart rate. To calculate this, subtract your age from 220. So, for you, (220-47) = 173 beats per minute (bpm) is your estimated maximum heart rate. During treadmill exercise, aim to keep your heart rate between 85-147 bpm to ensure you are exercising safely. As for cycling, it is also a great cardiovascular exercise. Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust accordingly. Remember to listen to your body, and if you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or unusual symptoms, stop exercising and seek medical attention.

I've been having trouble taking deep breaths for about a month now. It feels like there's pressure on my heart, and I can't get rid of this dry mouth, even though I'm drinking lots of water. My X-ray and thyroid tests came back normal. What could be going on? Is there something I should be worried about?

I've recently found out that my total cholesterol is 240, and my LDL cholesterol is 189. Should I be worried about these levels? Is it necessary for me to start taking medication to lower them, or can I manage it through other means? I'm aware these numbers are higher than normal, but I'm not sure I can stick to a strict diet. What do you recommend?
With a total cholesterol of 240 and LDL cholesterol of 189, it is considered high and can increase your risk for heart disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
