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."

I'm experiencing some sudden pain on the left side of my chest and leg, specifically around the knee, and I'm not sure what's going on. The pain tends to come and go, and it's been like this since yesterday. There's no pain in my hand, just the leg and chest. Do you have any advice or know of any tablets I could take to help with this?
"Based on your symptoms of sudden chest pain and left leg pain, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack or blood clot. However, if the pain is intermittent and not severe, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. I recommend taking Tablet Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for chest and leg pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any strenuous activities until the pain subsides."
