I'm dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and my pulse rate is pretty much always over 90. My doctor has me on Ciplar LA 40 once a day for a few months. I've read that stopping this medication can cause heart attacks and other scary stuff. Is it really safe for me to be on this? I'm also taking Ecospirin 75 at night to help with blood flow. What should I do?

While Propranolol (Ciplar LA) and Aspirin are generally safe when prescribed together, it's crucial to follow your doctors recommendations for proper management. If you're ever in doubt or feel uncomfortable about the medication, dont hesitate to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider to address your concerns and explore options.

View allI'm having some discomfort in my chest when I masturbate, especially in the middle and left side. It doesn't hurt a lot, just a little, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it might be because I was overweight, so I lost some weight and now I'm down to 67 kg, but the pain is still there. I even tried stopping for a month, thinking it was because I was doing it too often, like 3-4 times a week, but the pain came back when I started again. I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to my friends or family about this, but is there something else that could be causing it?

I'm feeling really anxious about the possibility of a cardiac arrest. I've had an EKG and an echo, and both came back normal, but I'm still worried. Are there any other tests you think I should consider to be on the safe side?

I'm worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels; they're at 255 and 320. What lifestyle changes can I make to improve these? Also, are there any over-the-counter meds that are safe for bringing my triglycerides back to normal? I could really use your advice.
To lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you should make the following lifestyle changes: - Follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. - Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. - Maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. As for over-the-counter medication to lower triglycerides, you can consider using fish oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can help reduce triglyceride levels. The recommended dosage is typically 1 to 4 grams per day, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
