I've been tracking my health stats lately, and my SGPT level has been at 73, SHOT level at 37, and my cholesterol is reading 211 for the past week. I'm really hoping to get these numbers to a normal range in the next 4 to 5 days. Can you give me some advice on how to make that happen?

-It's important to take a gradual approach to improving SGPT, SGOT, and cholesterol levels. In 4-5 days, it may not be realistic to achieve significant changes, but you can focus on a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regula

View allI'm really worried about what's happening with my health. So, I had a brain stroke about 2 months ago, and my doctor recommended getting an Echo cardiogram. The test showed something called "Reduced diastolic compliance". I'm not sure what this means. Is this something serious? Should I be really concerned about it?
This means that the heart is having difficulty relaxing and filling with blood during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This condition can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. To improve diastolic compliance, the doctor may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril at a dosage of 10-20mg daily. Additionally, Beta-blockers like Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg daily may also be recommended. It is important to follow up with the doctor regularly to monitor and manage this condition.

I'm concerned because I've noticed my triglycerides are really high at 603, but my total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL are in the normal range. I'm a bit worried about this and I'm wondering what medication I should consider taking for the high triglycerides. Also, my heart rate is always above 100, sometimes reaching 116. Could the high triglycerides be causing my heart rate to be so high?
High triglyceride levels, like a reading of 603 mgdL, significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions and pancreatitis. While high triglycerides themselves typically do not cause an elevated heart rate, they can indicate underlying metabolic issues that might contribute to overall cardiovascular stress. It's essential to address these elevated levels promptly. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as fibrates (e.g., fenofibrate), omega-3 fatty acids, or statins to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes are crucial, including adopting a low-fat, low-sugar diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake. Given your elevated heart rate (100-116 bpm), it's also important to have this evaluated, as it could be related to various factors such as anxiety, thyroid issues, or other underlying conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and have been on Cordarone 100 mg since then. Over the last month and a half, my heart rate has been consistently between 60-65 bpm. Is this a normal range or should I get it checked by my cardiologist?
A heart rate consistently between 60-65 bpm is generally considered within the normal range for adults, but it's crucial to consider your specific situation. Since you have a history of MVR surgery and are on Cordarone, it's recommended to consult with your cardiologist for their specific recommendations based on your individual health profile.
