I'm experiencing something that's got me really concerned. Whenever I stand up, I suddenly feel dizzy, everything seems to go black for a moment, and I start sweating. I can't keep my balance and need to hold onto something to avoid falling over. This isn't just a one-time thing; it happens a lot. I've even fainted a couple of times because of it. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm really concerned about my heart health right now. My ejection factor is 38, and my doctor recommends I get an angiogram. But to be honest, I'm pretty scared about going through that procedure. Is there any other way to help improve my heart ejection factor? For context, I dont have any bad habits, weigh 68 kg, and am 6 feet tall. Any advice would really help me out.

I'm really worried about my husband. His total cholesterol is at 290 and his hemoglobin is around 17.3. Could you tell me if it's okay for him to take cholesterol-lowering meds along with ecoaspirin? Also, what can we do to lower his overall cholesterol since his HDL is only 32?

For high total cholesterol, it is advisable to start cholesterol-lowering medication. I recommend starting him on a statin medication such as Lipitor (Atorvastatin) at a dose of 20mg daily. In addition, he can take Ecospirin (Aspirin) for its antiplatelet effects. However, please consult with a doctor before starting any new medication. To help reduce his total cholesterol, it is important to also focus on lifestyle changes. Encourage him to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity, and maintain a healthy weight. Increasing his intake of foods high in omega-3 fatty acids like fish, nuts, and seeds can also help improve his HDL levels.
