Ive been dealing with this dizziness, nausea, and sometimes even fainting for about 23 days. I found out that my blood pressure is hanging around 95. Ive been trying to fix it with ORS and even started munching on raisins, but the dizziness still hangs around. Im totally confused about what I should be eating or doing to make this better. Any idea why this is happening or what else I can try? I really cant stand feeling like this all the time.

View allI'm a 32-year-old who got over Covid about a month ago, and I just got some test results back. Most things look okay, but I'm a bit concerned about my lipid profile. Here's what it says: Total cholesterol is 184, triglycerides are at 286, HDL cholesterol is 38, LDL is 88.8, and VLDL is 57.2. My CRP is 4.5, platelets are 152, D-dimer is 0.34, and ferritin is 113. Should I be worried about these numbers, and do I need to start any meds?
Based on your lipid profile results, it appears that your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your lipid profile. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations.

I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the past four days. I've noticed my resting heart rate has dropped to between 70-85 and my blood pressure is now around 11080. There's another option, Metoprolol 25 mg, and I'm curious if it's a better choice for me to use just for a month. What would you suggest?
For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

I'm struggling with high cholesterol levels and I'm trying to figure out what to do. My total cholesterol is sitting at 221, with an LDL of 146, HDL is 36, and VLDL is 39. Plus, my triglycerides are at 280. I also smoke, but I've been cutting back bit by bit. Do I need to start taking statins because of this? And if I do start them, is it possible to stop once my cholesterol levels go down?
Yes you have to start statins and quit smoking completely,maintain healthy lifestyle and stay physically active,use statins for a period of 3 months and check your lipid profile for followup
