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.

Is it normal to feel your heartbeat at night? I've noticed that I'm getting anxious easily too. Could this be a sign of something wrong with my heart? I'm a bit worried.

Feeling your heart beating at night and experiencing anxiety could be related to a heart condition, but it could also be due to other factors such as stress, caffeine intake, or even sleep apnea. To address this issue, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your symptoms.

I'm experiencing this mild pain that sort of comes and goes in random parts of my chest. It's like someone's pressing down on it. Sometimes it's on the right side, other times on the left, and occasionally in the center. Should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing random chest pains. This could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, anxiety, or even digestive issues. However, it is important to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm really anxious about this pain I'm having under my left breast, and it's going down towards my rib. It's this heavy pressure that feels really tender and occasionally there's a sharp pain. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's pretty scary. There's also this sensation like bubbles in that area. What could this be? Is it something serious?

Get yourself examined by a doctor at the earliest.
