I'm currently taking Teleact 40 in the morning and Cilny 10 along with Concor 5 at night. I've been feeling kind of light-headed in the mornings though. Do you think it would be better to switch things up and take the Telmisartan and Cilnidipine combo in the morning and the Concor 5 at night instead? I just want to make sure I'm managing my blood pressure in the best way possible.

Switching to Telmisartan (brand name: Telma) + Cilnidipine (brand name: Cilacar) combination in the morning can help in managing your blood pressure more effectively. You can continue taking Concor 5 at night for better control. The recommended dosage for Telmisartan + Cilnidipine combination would be as per your doctor's prescription.

I'm trying to understand how I can bring down my total cholesterol and bad cholesterol. This is my first blood test and I've attached the report. What steps should I take or changes should I make to improve these numbers?
To reduce your total cholesterol and bad cholesterol levels, also known as LDL cholesterol, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, medication may be prescribed by your doctor to help lower cholesterol levels. For reducing cholesterol levels, you can start by taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily. This medication helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition to medication, it is important to follow a low-cholesterol diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, for at least 30 minutes a day can also help improve cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and to adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I recently had a fever and decided to get an ECG done. The results showed sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia. I went back for another ECG the next day, and it came out normal. Should I be concerned about this fluctuation?
