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?

View allIve been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've just got my lipid test results back. I'm a bit concerned about some of the numbers, like the LDL at 120 mgdl, triglycerides at 231 mgdl, and VLDL at 46.2 mgdl. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is also 7.4. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next for treatment or lifestyle changes?
Based on your lipid test results, your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglycerides, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as following a healthy diet low in sugars and refined carbohydrates, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, medication may also be necessary to help lower your triglyceride levels. I recommend starting with a prescription of Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg once daily. This medication can help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your lipid levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
