View allStarted feeling sweaty and uneasy out of nowhere and went to see the doctor. They did an ECG. Does this look normal to you? I'm a bit worried.
Based on the ECG provided, I cannot assess it without seeing the actual ECG report. It is important to discuss the results with your doctor who ordered the test. If there are any abnormalities or concerns, your doctor will be able to provide you with the appropriate treatment or further testing.

I'm 77 years old and I've noticed my pulse rate has jumped to 142. It was 139 just an hour ago. Is this something I should be worried about?
This is not a normal pulse rate and requires immediate medical attention. A heart rate of 139-142 is significantly elevated for any age, but especially concerning for someone who is 77 years old. This condition, called tachycardia, can be dangerous and might indicate a serious underlying condition. Please seek emergency medical care right away - either call for an ambulance or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room. While waiting for medical help, try to stay calm, sit or lie down, and avoid any physical activity.

I'm 36 years old and my cholesterol levels are quite high. I've got the details here: Total cholesterol is 212 mgdL, triglycerides are 333 mgdL, HDL is 33.60 mgdL, LDL is 143 mgdL, VLDL is 35.4 mgdL, and Non-HDL is 178 mgdL. My liver function tests show bilirubin total at 0.42 mgdL, bilirubin direct at 0.07 mgdL, and bilirubin indirect at 0.35 mgdL. My SGOT is 40 UL, SGPT is 34 UL, GGTP is 28 UL, ALP is 121 UL, total protein is 7.20 gdL, and albumin is 4.48 gdL with an AG ratio of 1.65. My fasting blood sugar is 102 mgdL. The doctor recommended taking Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day, but I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything else I can do to lower my cholesterol quickly. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
"Based on your cholesterol levels and liver function test results, I recommend adding Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to your current treatment with Rozavel F 10 mg twice a day. This combination can help in faster reduction of cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids supplement to further improve your lipid profile. Make sure to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and engage in regular physical activity to complement the medication therapy."
