View allI'm trying to figure out what natural ingredients I should include in my daily diet to help control my high cholesterol. My lipid profile isn't looking great, and I'm currently on 10 mg of Zivast. I've also started exercising and making changes to my diet. What can I do diet-wise to improve my situation?
To help control your high cholesterol naturally, in addition to taking Zivast (atorvastatin) 10 mg and exercising, you can include several beneficial ingredients in your daily diet. These include: 1. Soluble Fiber: Found in oats, barley, beans, lentils, fruits (such as apples, pears, and berries), and vegetables. Soluble fiber helps reduce the absorption of cholesterol in your bloodstream. 2. Healthy Fats: Include sources of unsaturated fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Replace saturated fats found in red meat and full-fat dairy with these healthier options. 3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as in flaxseeds and chia seeds. Omega-3s can help lower triglycerides and improve heart health. 4. Plant Sterols and Stanols: Naturally found in small amounts in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, and vegetable oils. Some fortified foods also contain added plant sterols. 5. Garlic: Has been shown to have cholesterol-lowering properties. Incorporate fresh garlic into your meals. 6. Green Tea: Contains antioxidants that may help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Maintaining a balanced diet with these ingredients, along with your medication and exercise, will support your efforts to manage your cholesterol

I'm dealing with high blood pressure since 2020 and I often have headaches and chest pain. My average blood pressure is around 150100. My doctor has prescribed me olmesartan 20mg. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and is the medication dosage suitable?
Since you are already taking olmesartan 20mg for your high blood pressure, it is important to continue with the medication as prescribed by your doctor. In addition to olmesartan, you can also consider adding a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg to further control your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
