I'm dealing with chest pain and heaviness for about 2 years now, and Montair FX helps, but if I stop taking it, the symptoms come right back. Plus, I get side effects like stomach gas from it. What should I do? Is there a way to stop using Montair FX, or maybe there's another option I can consider?

I'm a bit worried because my LDL cholesterol level is 187, but all my other tests like ECG, 2D echo, blood, and urine have come back normal. What steps should I take to bring my LDL down?

To lower your LDL cholesterol level of 187, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise. Additionally, you can consider taking medication to help lower your LDL cholesterol. One commonly prescribed medication for this purpose is Atorvastatin, which is taken at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily.

I've been consistently walking over 10,000 steps a day, or about 10 kilometers daily, for the last 4 to 5 months without missing a day. Recently, I noticed that my resting heart rate is around 55 to 60. Is that something I should be worried about? I had an ECG done about three months ago before my gallbladder surgery, and everything seemed fine back then. Would appreciate any advice or insight.

You mentioned having an ECG done before your gallbladder operation 3 months ago. A resting heart rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically active and have a history of regular exercise. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, it's important to consider your individual health history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Since you have had an ECG done recently, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider to review the results and ensure that there are no concerning findings related to your heart rate. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate in this range is usually not a cause for concern.

I'm a bit concerned because I just started taking Telma 20mg and today I've been feeling dizzy and really tired. Is that a normal reaction? I checked my blood pressure and it's 14092. What should I do about this?

Starting on Telma (telmisartan) 20mg can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness and fatigue, especially when your body is adjusting to the medication. These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or during the initial days of treatment. Your current blood pressure reading of 14092 mmHg indicates that it is still elevated. Its important to monitor your symptoms and blood pressure closely. If the dizziness and fatigue persist or worsen, please contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment plan.
