I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.

View allI've recently found out that my cholesterol is really high, around 280, and my triglycerides are up there too. I'm kind of worried and wondering if there's a natural way to bring those numbers down. What would you suggest?
To help reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels naturally, you can try the following: 1. Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. 2. Exercise regularly to help lower cholesterol levels and improve overall heart health. 3. Maintain a healthy weight to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 4. Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. 5. Consider incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts into your diet. 6. Talk to your doctor about possibly taking supplements like fish oil or plant sterols to help lower cholesterol levels. If these lifestyle changes are not enough to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) or Simvastatin (Zocor) to help manage your levels.

I'm experiencing this really bad chest pain in the upper part, and sometimes it gets quite severe. I tried using Eno, but it didn't help at all. Do you think I should consult a doctor about this?

I'm really worried about my husband's blood pressure. He's been taking amlopidine 5mg, but his BP was still 149110. The doctor suggested adding telmac 40mg, and now his BP is around 12185 and 11775. He's not feeling well, though. I'm thinking maybe 40mg is too much for him. Could I try giving him half the dose of telmac instead?
It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Telmisartan without consulting your doctor. Telmisartan 40mg is a standard starting dose for hypertension, and it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. If your husband is not feeling well, it is best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
