I'm just about to hit 30 and have a 2-year-old at home. I recently got a blood test done, and I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 208, HDL is 46, non-HDL is 161, and LDL is 138. Do these levels mean I need to start any medication? For context, I weigh 75 kg, I'm 5'6", not diabetic, and my blood pressure usually tends to be on the lower side of normal. Are there specific lifestyle changes I should consider, or is medication the way to go here?
Based on your cholesterol levels, it seems like you are at average risk. However, your LDL cholesterol level is slightly elevated at 138 mgdL. To help lower your LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease, you may consider taking a statin medication. I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about starting a statin such as Atorvastatin at a low dose of 10 mg daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your cholesterol levels.

I'm feeling really shaky and I've been having these spells of dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure since around 5pm, and it's been all over the place. It started at 12987 with a pulse of 75, then went to 13994 with a pulse of 89, 13795 with a pulse of 84, 13387 with a pulse of 70, and now it's at 13290 with a pulse of 76. I made sure I was sitting up straight and resting before and during each check. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can you help?
Your symptoms of shakiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings, may indicate dehydration, anxiety, or an underlying condition such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and potential tests, such as blood work or an ECG, to determine the underlying cause.
