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. Her heartbeat's been acting up and she's feeling a heavy sensation around her chest. About a month ago, her hemoglobin was really low at 6, and the doctor suggested 7 cycles of iron injections. She's already done five of those. The last four times, it took about 2 to 2.5 hours to finish each cycle, but the nurse did the fifth round in just an hour. Also, they usually fixed the cannula on the back of her hand, but during this last session, they put it on her wrist and told her to hold it. Do you think these changes could be why she's feeling chest heaviness and her heartbeat's speeding up? Can the quick iron injection cause these symptoms?

I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.
