Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pain And Elevated Cholesterol Levels
Hello, Im a 40 year old white male. Not sexually active. I have been experiencing muscle pain, not weakness, but aches. I am a daily drinker. Cholesterol high, but not out of range. Lipid count elevated, but again, not high. I also fatigue early. Acid reflux is common. My diet is better than average, but not great. Glucose is in range. Bone aches are common. I was an avid weight lifter from 18-30 something. Heavy weights actually. I feel run down and have a hard time continuing daily activity for an extended period of time. No sex drive. I m asking because I m currently without insurance. Any off the top of your head ideas?
You need to do few blood tests (ECG, lipid profile, electrolyte levels esp calcium, hemoglobin) for acid reflux antacid can be taken but your diet can help in many of your issues (eat antioxidants like amla, aloe vera, basil fresh fruits, juices, steamed vegetables etc. Don't drink alcohol, don't smoke and avoid non veg too. Learn yoga which is good to maintain good hormones levels. Take multivitamin oral for a week like Natalins Rx. You can consult an endocrinologist and a nutritionist for these.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
