I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

View allI've got triglycerides at 290, and I'm currently on Rosave F 10 every day. Any idea how long it might take to get down to normal levels?
The medication you are taking, Rosave F 10, contains Rosuvastatin 10mg. It is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels, including triglycerides. On average, it may take several weeks to a few months to see a significant decrease in triglyceride levels. However, individual responses to medication can vary.

I'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate, which is usually around 115. Is that normal? Could this have any negative implications on my health? I try to stay active with moderate exercise and spend time outdoors 5 to 6 days a week, and I don't have any known health issues. Should I be taking any specific precautions?
A resting heart rate of 115 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. This condition is known as tachycardia and can have negative effects on your health if left untreated. It may be caused by factors such as stress, dehydration, caffeine intake, or certain medications. To lower your resting heart rate and reduce the risk of complications, you can try the following precautions: - Stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake - Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation - Ensure you are getting enough quality sleep - Consider incorporating relaxation exercises into your routine If your resting heart rate remains consistently high, despite these precautions, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medication such as beta-blockers may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate.

I've had all my tests done recently for palpitations, like ECG, echo, and blood work, and everything came back normal. But I still keep getting palpitations, maybe one or two missed beats a month. It's really been stressing me out. What should I do about this?
