I've been tracking my health stats lately, and my SGPT level has been at 73, SHOT level at 37, and my cholesterol is reading 211 for the past week. I'm really hoping to get these numbers to a normal range in the next 4 to 5 days. Can you give me some advice on how to make that happen?

-It's important to take a gradual approach to improving SGPT, SGOT, and cholesterol levels. In 4-5 days, it may not be realistic to achieve significant changes, but you can focus on a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regula

View allI've been feeling some pressure and uneasiness in my heart for the past week, and it usually lasts about an hour. Sometimes it feels a bit better when I cough, but it's only a temporary relief. I'm not experiencing chest pain or getting tired when I work out, which is puzzling. Could this be related to stomach gas or something else? I also got my lipid profile checked, and things seem a bit off with high triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol. What could be causing these symptoms, and are there any changes I should make to my diet?
Based on your symptoms and lipid profile, the uneasiness and pressure at the heart lasting for about an hour could be related to your high triglyceride levels. The cough providing temporary relief may be due to associated gastric reflux. To address this, you should consider making some dietary changes to improve your lipid profile and overall heart health. I recommend reducing your intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol-rich foods. Increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help lower triglyceride levels. In terms of medication, you may benefit from a prescription medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily, but your doctor may adjust this based on your lipid profile and response to treatment. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your lipid profile and heart symptoms. Regular monitoring and adherence to lifestyle modifications and prescribed medications are crucial in managing your condition.

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol level being at 300. Do you think I can manage it through exercise and controlling my diet, or is it likely that I'll need to rely on medication?
High cholesterol levels can often be managed through lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. However, in some cases, medication may also be necessary to effectively control cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise such as brisk walking or jogging for at least 30 minutes a day, and following a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. If after a few months of lifestyle changes your cholesterol levels remain high, then medication such as Atorvastatin (20mg once daily) may be prescribed to help lower your cholesterol levels.
