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 just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?
Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.

I've been jogging regularly and watching my diet, but my triglycerides are at 240. What more can I do to bring down those levels naturally?
To help lower your triglyceride levels naturally, you can consider taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements. I recommend taking Fish Oil capsules, 1000mg twice daily with meals. Additionally, you can try incorporating more fiber into your diet by taking Psyllium husk powder, 5 grams once daily with a full glass of water. Lastly, you can also try Niacin (Vitamin B3) supplements, starting with 250mg daily and gradually increasing to 500mg daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.
