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.

View allI'm curious if heart angioscopy can diagnose all heart issues. Can it detect problems with both valves and arteries? I'm really anxious to know.
In heart angiography, doctors can visualize the blood flow in the coronary arteries to check for blockages or narrowing that may indicate coronary artery disease. However, heart angiography does not directly assess heart valve problems. To evaluate heart valve problems, doctors may use other tests such as echocardiography.

I'm trying to understand more about my recent test results. It mentioned something like mild mitral stenosis with trivial regurgitation and that my left atrium is dilated. Plus, there's something about the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve being mildly thickened, and the mitral orifice measuring 2.22 square centimeters. They also noted trivial mitral regurgitation with Doppler. What does all this mean for my heart health? Should I be worried? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.

I've recently found out that my total cholesterol is 240, and my LDL cholesterol is 189. Should I be worried about these levels? Is it necessary for me to start taking medication to lower them, or can I manage it through other means? I'm aware these numbers are higher than normal, but I'm not sure I can stick to a strict diet. What do you recommend?
With a total cholesterol of 240 and LDL cholesterol of 189, it is considered high and can increase your risk for heart disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
