View allI'm really worried because I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and I've noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I've been taking Dytor 40mg every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?
It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I've always struggled with high cholesterol, and it's been a tricky issue in my family as wellseems like a genetic thing. Every time my cholesterol spikes, I've been using Roseday 10 mg to bring it down temporarily. But I'm really interested in finding a more natural daily approach to managing it. I've heard about Himalaya Arjuna and Lahsuna tablets as potential aids. Do you think taking these daily could help keep my cholesterol levels stable and promote heart health? I'd love to find a way to manage my cholesterol without always relying on medication. What are your thoughts on this, and do you have any advice?
Taking Himalaya Arjuna and Himalaya Lahsuna tablets daily can help in maintaining your cholesterol levels and supporting heart health. Himalaya Arjuna contains Arjuna extract which helps in maintaining heart health, while Himalaya Lahsuna contains Garlic which is known to have cholesterol-lowering properties. You can take Himalaya Arjuna 1 tablet twice daily and Himalaya Lahsuna 1 tablet twice daily after meals for effective management of cholesterol levels and overall heart health.
