From the information you've provided, it seems you have a history of fatty liver and lipid (cholesterol) issues. It's positive to hear that you've made lifestyle changes such as abstaining from alcohol, cigarettes, and tobacco use, as well as incorporating exercise and a healthy diet into your routine. It's important to manage your cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart issues. Statins are commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol levels, and it seems you've been taking them in different dosages. The decision about the appropriate dosage and duration of statin therapy is typically made by a physician based on various factors, including your overall cardiovascular risk profile. Factors such as your age, gender, blood pressure, smoking history, family history of heart disease, and other medical conditions will be taken into account. Given your specific situation, it's best to discuss with your physician or cardiologist regarding the most suitable dosage of statins for you. They can assess your overall cardiovascular risk and help determine the appropriate medication regimen. It's also essential to continue managing your blood sugar levels, as you mentioned you are taking triglimisave for that purpose. Regular monitoring and following the advice of your healthcare professional regarding diabetes management are crucial. Additionally, since you mentioned experiencing depression and panic disorder, it's important to address these mental health concerns as well. Your current medication regimen for these conditions should be discussed with a mental health professional who can evaluate your symptoms and determine if any adjustments are necessary.
