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.

My recent CRP levels came back high, and I'm pretty worried about what that means for my health. Is there a chance this could lead to something like a heart attack or even cancer? I'm not sure what steps I should take next. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?

Elevated CRP levels can indicate inflammation in the body, but it is not specific to any particular condition such as cardiac arrest or cancer. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.

I've been having chest pain for the past two months along with a fast heartbeat but my ECG came back normal. Next week I'm scheduled for inguinal scrotal hernia surgery and my PFT test showed small airway obstruction with severe restriction on spirometry though the doctor said it's fine. Should I be concerned about these results or is there something else I should do?
