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.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telvas H and Nebicard 2.5 along with Amaryl M1, but recently she's been having these heart palpitations and feeling super uneasy after taking the Amaryl. It's kind of freaking us out because it's only started in the last few days. Do you think this could be a side effect or something we should be concerned about? What should we do to help her feel better?
