I've been prescribed Lipicure 10 mg and I'm a bit worried about how long I should be taking it. My LDL cholesterol level is 169 and I'm not sure if that's considered high. Can you give me some guidance on the duration I should continue this medication? I'm feeling a little anxious about managing my cholesterol effectively.

View allI've had a normal ECG and ECCO test, and even the treadmill stress test was normal. My blood sugar level and lipid profile are fine, but my cholesterol's high. I'm still having pain in my lower chest and a bit in my left hand. I'm really concerned. What's going on with me?
The pain in your lower chest and left hand could be due to musculoskeletal issues or possibly related to acid reflux. To alleviate the pain in your lower chest, you can take over-the-counter medications like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. For the pain in your left hand, you can try applying a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. In March, my cardiologist recommended a 2D echo and TMT test. I've started taking Prolomet R50 and Deplatt A 75 as prescribed. I'm just wondering, does it seem like we're on the right track with the treatment plan?

I'm just a bit confused after seeing my Echo results. It shows I have normal pulmonary arteries, but the summary mentions mild PHT. Is that really possible to have mild PHT even if the pulmonary arteries look normal? Just trying to understand what this might mean for my health.
yes it is possible, there might be slight increase in pressure due to various other reasons
