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'm 53 years old and I noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 110 and 120. When I walk, it shoots up to 150. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Are there any medications you would recommend to help regulate my heart rate to a normal level?

A resting heart rate of 110 to 120 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, and a heart rate of 150+ when walking is also elevated. This could be a sign of tachycardia, which may have various underlying causes. It is important to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, if you are looking for a medication to help regulate your heart rate, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. This medication is a beta-blocker that can help lower heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm really concerned about my pulse rate, as it's been hovering between 95 and 105 for the past four years. I'm feeling a mild discomfort in my heart again, similar to what I experienced last year. When I visited Ibrahim Cardiac in Bangladesh, everything seemed normalno blockages or anything serious. After some rest and medication, I felt a bit better, but my pulse didn't change. Now that I'm in Oman, I can't easily consult the same doctor. I'm 33 years old, not overweight at 74 kg, and 5.5 in height. Do you think I should be worried about this pulse rate or the mild heart pain coming back? What should I do next?

It would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a low dose of Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help manage your heart rate and alleviate any discomfort. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
