I've just got my test results and it says my triglycerides are at 186 mgdL. I'm a bit worried about whether this is within the normal range or not. Also, the report shows my LDL is 99.80. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health?

based on your triglyceride level of 186 mgdl, it is considered borderline high. The normal range for triglycerides is typically less than 150 mgdl. As for your LDL level of 99.80, it is within the optimal range. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 10mg once daily. It is important to also follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to manage your lipid levels effectively.

View allIm feeling my heartbeat everywhere in my body, like in my arms, legs, chest, stomach, and even my head. I'm starting to wonder if that's normal or if there might be something wrong. Any advice on what this could mean?
Feeling your heartbeat throughout your body is not always a cause for concern, but it can sometimes indicate an underlying issue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms. Start by observing your symptoms, managing stress, and reducing stimulants. If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and tests.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
