I'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

I'm 32 and just found out my triglycerides are at 360. Should I be taking meds to bring it down, or is there a natural way to manage this? Really need some guidance here.

For your triglyceride level of 360, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes first to try and lower it naturally. This includes maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. However, if these measures are not enough to lower your triglycerides, medication may be necessary. You can consider using Atorvastatin 10mg once daily to help lower your triglyceride levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
