View allI've been having this subtle pain and discomfort around my ribs, and it's really starting to give me anxiety and hypertension. I've already done an ECG, TST, and some blood tests, but everything came back normal. I've seen a couple of doctors, and they mentioned it's probably related to rib pain, but it feels more serious to me. Is there any specific X-ray or test I should be looking into?
u can take x ray

I've been managing my high BP with Olmesar H 20 and it's been under control. But recently, my triglycerides level went up to 201. My doctor suggested I start taking T Atorva 10MG for three months. I'm a bit worried and curiouswill taking T Atorva become like the BP meds where I have to rely on it for life?
Atorva (atorvastatin) is prescribed to manage high triglycerides and other cholesterol levels and is often used for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction. While taking it for three months can help lower triglycerides, whether you need to continue it long-term depends on your subsequent cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular risk profile. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider after the initial three months to reassess your lipid levels and determine the need for ongoing treatment. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are also crucial in managing triglycerides. Discuss with your doctor about the long-term plan and any concerns you have.
