Before undergoing bypass surgery, consider alternatives like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (angioplasty with stenting) and Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). Discuss your concerns and explore all options with your doctor and heart care team to determine the most appropriate course of action.

Question

I've got pretty high cholesterol levels, like 267, and my LDL is around 180, but my HDL is at 60.59. I tried using statins to lower my cholesterol, but I started having some issues, like erection problems, so I had to stop. Even with changes to my diet and exercise, the lowest I could get my cholesterol down to was 234. Can you recommend any medications that won't mess with my sexual health, or maybe some natural remedies? I also tried Rosave 10, which didn't cause any sexual issues, but it did make me urinate more frequently. What should I consider next?

Question

I've been feeling this weird vibration in my left chest, and it only lasts for like 1 or 2 seconds before it stops on its own. I'm not really sure what could be causing it or how to make it go away. Could you tell me what might be going on and if there's anything I can do to stop it?

Question

I'm 36, and my blood pressure is pretty high at 142 over 94. I'm worried that if I start taking blood pressure meds, it might lead to erectile dysfunction or affect my sex life somehow. I'm getting married in four months, so this is really on my mind, especially since I haven't had morning erections for the past five months. I already walk about 2 km every day, but can I manage this with lifestyle changes alone? What's the best way forward?
