I'm feeling some discomfort in a few spots on both sides of my chest. My HDL cholesterol is low, and I recently had a mildly positive TMT test. What do you think could be going on, and is there anything I should do?

I've got high cholesterol and I'm wondering if having 1kg of milk daily is okay or if I should cut back. Can you suggest how much milk would be beneficial for my condition?
For high cholesterol, consuming 1kg of milk per day may not be the best approach as it is high in saturated fats which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes low-fat dairy products in moderation. A more suitable option for managing cholesterol levels would be to incorporate plant-based alternatives such as almond milk or soy milk which are lower in saturated fats. Additionally, including foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, fruits, and vegetables can help lower cholesterol levels. There is no specific dosage of milk recommended for managing cholesterol, but it is advisable to consult with a dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health needs.

I'm currently taking two medications, amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg, to manage my blood pressure. I was thinking about starting a dietary vitamin supplement and I'm worried if there could be any interactions with these meds. Can you give me some advice on whether I should be cautious about combining them?
Vitamin D supplements are generally safe to take with amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement to ensure there are no potential interactions with your current medications.
