View allI'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 recently did some heart tests because I was experiencing pain in my left arm. My doctor mentioned it was muscular pain. My ECG didn't come out normal, but the TMT and 2D echo were fine. I'm really confused about whether it's okay to do strength training at the gym. I've attached my reports. Can you check them out and let me know what you think?
based on the reports you have provided, it's good to hear that your TMT and 2D echo results are normal, despite the abnormal ECG. Since your doctor has mentioned that the left arm pain is muscular in nature, it is generally safe to engage in strength training at the gym. However, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid any strain on the muscles. You can start with light weights and focus on proper form and technique. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consult with a fitness trainer at the gym to create a suitable workout plan that aligns with your health status. Remember to listen to your body and stop any exercise that causes discomfort or pain.

My brother's been taking Olmezest H20 for his blood pressure, but sometimes it still shows high readings. The doctor recommended adding Amlodipine 5 mg to his routine. I'm wondering if that's a good idea or if switching to Olmezest H40 might be better. What do you think?
use amlodipine 5 mg
