I'm currently taking Olmezest 40, but it's getting really pricey. Should I switch to Olmetime 40 instead? What's the difference between the two?

I've been smoking for the past four years and drink daily. Seven months ago, I had a stress echo, and it came back normal, even though my lipid levels, Lp(a), and triglycerides were high. Recently, I've been experiencing dizziness that comes and goes, heart palpitations, ringing in my ears, feeling my heartbeat in my ears, the sensation of my heart skipping a beat, and burping. Could these symptoms be related to a heart issue? I'm worried because of my lifestyle habits and these recurring symptoms.

"Based on your symptoms and risk factors such as smoking and daily drinking, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. The dizziness, heart palpitations, ringing in ears, feeling of skipping a beat, and burping could be related to your heart. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider starting on a medication like Atorvastatin (10mg) for high lipid levels and Fenofibrate (145mg) for high TG levels to manage your cardiovascular risk factors."

I'm really worried about my mom's health. Her doctor said she has a 90% blockage in one of her arteries, and they're suggesting she undergoes angioplasty. Is this really the only way to treat it, or are there other options we should consider? I'm just trying to make sure we're making the best choice for her.

You go for other investigation.
