Regarding cholesterol and Gastric

Hello, I'm feeling pain in left upper abdomen and I'm not getting gas and burp. I'm feeling it is stuck and causing this issue. Even back pain also I'm getting. If I have tea or coffee immediately I'm feeling gas. Stomach will bloat if I have coffee or tea. I have tested in lap. I have ldl 123, hdl 35.8, triglycerides 254.8, vldl 51. Please suggest any tablet to control cholesterol. My friend suggested Lipirose 10mg. 2 years back I took atorva 10mg. Which is good ? Thank you

General query

Hi Doctor, whenever i get any sexual thought my penis starts leaking some drops of liquid which i checked on internet given as precum. But i get precum within less then a minute of thinking. Is this is called premature ejaculation or that's something different thing ? Also after getting precum i try to divert my mind to avoid ejaculation as i read somewhere it leads to weakness, fertility loss etc. Also i try to avoid this because it gives some foul smell and make stain marks on underwear and paints. So is it safe to stop sexual arousal at precum level and divert mind to stop ejaculation ?

"Calcium & Vitamin Supplement Doubt"

"Doctor, if I take Shelcal 500 Plus Ultra D3 2K instead of Shelcal XT, is there any chance of getting a little bone pain or not? "After stopping Shelcal XT, I have been taking Shelcal 500 with Ultra D3 2K for the past one week. For the last one week, I feel like I have a mild bone pain. Could this be because of this change?"
