I've been experiencing some strong side effects like muscle pain, dizziness, and shaky hands and legs from taking Rozavel and Pivasta. Are there any realistic alternatives or supplements in the Indian market that could lower my LDL by around 15-20% without serious side effects? I've heard about things like Coeveleselam, but I'd love to know more.

I've been checking my blood pressure with a monitor, and every time the cuff gets tighter, I start feeling some chest pressure. It's not super strong, but I definitely notice it, and it happens every time I check. My blood pressure was 12588. I'm also worried because I get chest pains sometimes. What could be causing this?

The sensation of chest pressure when the blood pressure cuff is tightened could be due to increased pressure on the chest wall. However, since you also mentioned that you experience chest pains sometimes, it is important to monitor this closely. With a blood pressure reading of 12588, it is within the prehypertension range. To help manage your blood pressure and chest discomfort, you can take a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
