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 recently had a fever and decided to get an ECG done. The results showed sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia. I went back for another ECG the next day, and it came out normal. Should I be concerned about this fluctuation?

Ive been feeling really tired lately, and all my tests came back normal except for my lipid profile. Turns out my cholesterol level is really low. My LDL cholesterol is at 30, the LDLHDL ratio is 0.61, and the cholesterolHDL ratio is 1.76. Should I be worried about this? It's really stressing me out.

Having a low cholesterol level, especially low LDL cholesterol level, is generally considered beneficial for heart health. Your LDLHDL ratio and cholesterolHDL ratio are also within normal ranges, which is a good sign. However, if you are feeling tired and stressed, it's important to address those symptoms. To help with your fatigue and stress, you can consider taking a multivitamin supplement like Centrum to ensure you are getting all the essential nutrients. Additionally, you can try a natural supplement like Rhodiola Rosea to help with stress management. Make sure to get enough rest, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist, consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm wondering if taking a beta blocker before getting an ECG might hide any signs of a heart attack. Could it affect the results or mask any important signals that might indicate a problem?

Taking a beta blocker before an ECG can indeed affect the results by potentially masking or hiding signals of a heart attack. Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which may impact the ECG readings. It is generally recommended to avoid taking beta blockers before an ECG if there is suspicion of a heart attack. If you are scheduled for an ECG and are taking beta blockers, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about whether to temporarily stop the medication before the test.
