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've been trying to eat better and exercise a bit more, but I'm worried because my triglyceride levels are still going up. Last year they were 286, and now they're 365. I've been taking fish liver oil and eating flax seeds regularly. Do you have any advice on what else I could do?
Statins and fibrates are medications that can help lower triglycerides. Statins primarily lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, but they can also modestly reduce triglycerides. Fibrates are specifically effective at lowering triglyceride levels

I'm 35 and recently got some blood work done. My LDL is at 123, triglycerides are 100, and my cholesterol is 178. I'm pretty worried about the LDL number. Are these levels okay, or should I be concerned? Can you help clear up my doubt?
Based on the provided readings, your LDL level of 123 mgdL falls within the optimal range for LDL cholesterol (less than 100 mgdL is considered optimal). Your triglyceride level of 100 mgdL is also within the normal range (less than 150 mgdL is considered normal). Additionally, your total cholesterol level of 178 mgdL is within the desirable range (less than 200 mgdL is considered desirable). Overall, your lipid profile seems to be within normal limits. However, it is always important to consider other risk factors for heart disease and consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation.

I've been dealing with sinus tachycardia, and my doctor suggested I try met xl 12.5 mg. I've been on it for a few days, and while my resting pulse rate has dropped a bit from 100 to 90 bpm, it still jumps to around 105-110 bpm when I'm doing normal activities. I'm wondering if it's safe to up my dose from 12.5 mg to 25 mg, and how long would be okay to stay on that higher dose?
It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Met XL without consulting your doctor. Increasing the dose from 12.5mg to 25mg should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. They will assess your condition and determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary. Please consult your doctor for proper evaluation and guidance on the dosage adjustment and duration of treatment
