What lifestyle changes help in managing high cholesterol levels?
Hello doctor,
I am a 45-year-old male. I came to know that I have high cholesterol levels after doing my laboratory investigations. Could you provide a clear overview of cholesterol? Kindly provide with the relationship between cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health. How do diet and lifestyle choices impact cholesterol levels? What is the significance of doing cholesterol testing, and how often should individuals interpret their cholesterol levels? In cases where lifestyle changes are not sufficient, what role do medications play in managing cholesterol levels?
Kindly help.

What are the effective ways to get fit?
Hi doctor,
I am a 15-year-old female. I am 5'2 inches tall, and I weigh about 150 pounds. I have been having problems losing weight. When I was 13, I was thick but not fat or slim, and then from 14 years to now, I just bloated up. I guess I ate too many sweets or bad foods, but I need advice on a diet and exercise because I want to look fit by this year end. Please help.

I feel suffocated and anxious while outdoors. Is this due to the mask that I wear?
Hello doctor,
I am a chronic DM type 2 patient with hypertension and hypothyroidism. I have a history of TIA in the past. Off late, I can say with the start of Corona, while outdoors, I feel very suffocating, weak, and anxious. I think it may be due to wearing masks. I do not feel such problems at home. Some water and biscuits help a little. Kindly guide, as this condition has compelled me to leave my job.
I am currently on medications for diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension, blood thinner, and a tranquilizer.
