Question 1

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol level being at 300. Do you think I can manage it through exercise and controlling my diet, or is it likely that I'll need to rely on medication?

Accepted Answer

High cholesterol levels can often be managed through lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. However, in some cases, medication may also be necessary to effectively control cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise such as brisk walking or jogging for at least 30 minutes a day, and following a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. If after a few months of lifestyle changes your cholesterol levels remain high, then medication such as Atorvastatin (20mg once daily) may be prescribed to help lower your cholesterol levels.

Random shallow breathing or skipped breaths, despite normal ECG results, may indicate:

Accepted Answer

In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
