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've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?
For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.

My dad had angioplasty a couple of months ago, and lately, hes been getting these red patches on his skin. They stick around for about 15 to 20 days and then disappear, only to pop up somewhere else on his body. Its been happening for the past month, and hes still on the meds the doctor gave him after the angioplasty. What could be causing these red patches?
The recurring red patches on your father's skin, healing and reappearing elsewhere, could be related to various factors, including allergic reactions to medications, skin infections, or autoimmune disorders; given his recent angioplasty and ongoing medication, consult his cardiologist or a dermatologist to rule out potential causes, such as drug-induced vasculitis or skin reactions to antiplatelet medications, and adjust his treatment plan accordingly.

I'm experiencing chest pain and back pain along with breathing problems. My doctor said it might be due to gas issues, but I'm still feeling tightness in my chest and having trouble breathing. Could it be something else, or should I just wait it out a bit longer?
