What Is The Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate?
Hi. Male, 56 yrs. My normal heart rate at rest is usually 90/min. I have just completed 11 months of chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma and I am in recession. However, now my heart rate is 110 at rest and the lipid profile is Serum Cholesterol 198 (HDL 48, LDL 119.2, VLDL 30.8), Serum Triglycerides 154. My BP is generally 120/80 and I take a daily slow-release aspirin 75 mg tab daily. Please advise on best way to lower lipid levels. Thanks. SN

Hi There
I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that your to lower your lipid levels you need dietary modification with medication. If your Liver functions are fine then you can start low dose Atorvastatin with Dietary modifications and repeat Lipid profile test after 3 months.
Kind Regards
