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 a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?
Your resting pulse rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially if you are physically active. When you workout, it is normal for your pulse rate to increase to 75 to 80 beats per minute. Telpres CT is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telpres CT, specifically the Chlorthalidone component, can sometimes cause a slight decrease in heart rate as a side effect. However, in your case, with a resting pulse rate of 55 to 60, it is more likely that your lower pulse rate is due to your good physical fitness rather than the medication. As your ECG and lipid profile reports are normal, and you are maintaining a normal blood pressure with Telpres CT, there is no need to be concerned about your pulse rate. It is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns.

I've been checking my pulse rate a lot since yesterday, like 34 times, and it's been between 95 to 100 on the pulse oximeter. Is this okay, or does it seem a bit high? I'm just wondering what I should do to improve it if needed.
A pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered normal for adults. A pulse rate of 95 to 100 may be slightly on the higher side, but it could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Make sure to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If your pulse rate consistently stays high or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm concerned about the increase in my cholesterol levels over the past few months. Back in October 2021, my total cholesterol was 190 mgdL and LDL was 115 mgdL. But in January 2022, my total cholesterol went up to 210 mgdL and LDL to 128 mgdL. I'm worried about this change and wondering what might have caused it. Could you suggest some ways to manage or reduce these levels?
In Oct 2021, your total cholesterol was 190 mgdl and LDL was 115 mgdl. In Jan 2022, your total cholesterol increased to 210 mgdl and LDL increased to 128 mgdl. The reason for the increase in cholesterol levels could be due to dietary changes, lack of physical activity, or genetic factors. To help lower your cholesterol levels, you can try incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and possibly medication if recommended by your healthcare provider. For example, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels.
