I'm looking at my lipid profile and I'm a bit worried because my triglycerides are 361. My LDL is at 76, and my HDL is 35. The total cholesterol while fasting came out to 134. I'm not sure what steps I should be taking to bring my triglyceride levels down. Any advice?

To lower your triglyceride levels, you can start by making some lifestyle changes. You should focus on a healthy diet that is low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise is also important in managing triglyceride levels. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower your triglycerides. One common medication that is often prescribed for high triglycerides is Fenofibrate. The usual dosage for Fenofibrate is 145 mg once daily. Remember to always follow your doctor's advice and recommendations for managing your lipid profile.

View allI'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.

I'm worried because last night my blood pressure was at 15790, so I took Amlong 2.5, but it didn't seem to work by the morning. I ended up taking a Nebicard 5mg without consulting my doctor, and by the evening, my BP came down to 12979. I'm a bit anxious about whether Nebicard 5mg is safe for me to use in such situations. Should I try Amlong 5mg instead, or is sticking with Nebicard better? I'm really unsure what to do and would appreciate some advice.
Nebicard 5 mg is advised SOS basis , rest continue all the medications as advised by the cardiologist..
