Im having elevated ldl cholesterol above 190mg/dl from past 3 yrs , with lifestyle modification and diet changes i have reduced my weight by 7kg and ldl cholesterol to 158mg/dl. Despite of the changes im having borderline high ldl cholesterol. I have also done lipoprotein a test which is also on the higher side . Do I require to take statins for indefinite period or I can decrease cholesterol levels further by diet and exercise alone.
Whenever I feel stress , even day to day life stress causes chest tightness and heavy breathing. I feel numbness in my legs and hands. Sometimes my legs start shaking and my hand also shivers and automatically my fist closes or tries to hold something and close fist tightly. I sleep a alot . Even then after some hours I feel sleepy. After my breakfast either my head feels heavy or light and my eyes starts closing and I feel so sleepy that I can't resist it for too long and then I sleep again .
EECP vs Better Non-Surgical Options: 61F Post-Pulmonary Edema (TVD, 42% EF) 61F. Frail/thin. Hospitalized last week for 1st time with acute pulmonary edema (now resolved). Currently stable: lungs clear, SpO2 98%, Pulse 82-85, FBS 155, PPBS 198. Has intense thirst and fragmented sleep. Angiogram: Severe TVD. LMCA 30-40% stenosis; LAD total occlusion (filling via active collaterals); Distal LCX 90-95% stenosis; RCA total occlusion (retrograde filling). Surgeons advised against CABG/PCI due to frailty; recommended medical management as collaterals are compensating. 2D Echo: EF 42%, mild PAH, multiple hypokinetic LV segments. Chambers/IVC normal. Meds: Axcer 90mg BID, Aspirin AV 75/40, Bisoprolol 1.25mg, Angispan 2.6mg, Oxra 10mg, Tab Leni 40mg (1.5 tabs/day). NovoRapid (10-10-8) + Lantus (10u at 10 PM). Strict 1L fluid limit, zero-salt diet. Questions: Can EECP safely mature her collaterals, or does increased venous return risk re-inducing pulmonary edema so soon?
