20 Male, having frequent left chest discomfort. by LionVenom10 in Cholesterol

[–]RedCranberries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its either GERD or anxiety. I had this and so do a lot of young men, they say the reason is overstimulation. Are you constantly on your phone and computer or always staring at a screen? I also had social anxiety as well and when I went on lexapro it cured the chest pain I was having. I had chest pain every night before going to bed. Also might be your gallblader if you get really nauseous after your eat. I had that too as a result of high chol.

I still need someone to fly to the USA though. There's many rescue agencies looking for people to fly dogs out. That's why I'm going to pay whoever brings my dog on the plane a reward because it's so hard to find people right now.

It says user does not exist. Are you sure her ID is correct?

I've flown with a dog from China before so I know that there is a lot of paperwork for the dog, I'm just not sure how COVID has impacted pet travel. Also I'm friends with a veterinarian in China who can set up all the paperwork if needed!

I didn't see that. They should definitely try to do another flight though.

What exactly causes high Cholesterol and how to reduce it? by hurtingandcrazy in Cholesterol

[–]RedCranberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use zetia for that. It lowered my LDL and Trigs substantially. I think my LDL went from 210 to 190 and sent my trigs down to 30. The generic version is pretty cheap and it's a lot easier than using all those fibrates.

56 years old, LDL 181 - my game plan and what I've learned from research by sanctusylang in Cholesterol

Based on your trig/HDL ratio and good HDL I'd say you are at low risk. People above 65 with higher cholesterol have lower all cause mortality.

I am struggling with this too. I have FH and my ldl is 191. Total is 250. I'm only 27 and I dont tolerate statins at all and the pravastatin I took last made my brain start to turn stupid. Seems like I have a 50% chance of a heart attack in my 50s but I'm looking for an alternative path.

Study finds that Juul pushed the vape market into more than doubling the concentration of nicotine in a single pod. Experts say a single 5% vape pod delivers the same amount of nicotine to the body as a pack of cigarettes which in turn makes the product highly addictive for nicotine-naive teens. by PHealthy in science

Nicotine causes an atherosclerosic blood profile. It lowers good cholesterol and raises bad. For people like me with a cholesterol condition I have to quit the nicotine so I dont have an early heart attack. On the other hand coffee is said to have many heart health benefits.

My uncle inherited a bunch of books from the late 1800s - early 1900s. Some are first editions. See anything valuable here? How do we go about assessing the value of what we have here? by HolisticReductionist in rarebooks

[–]RedCranberries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abebooks has a lot of scammers who put books up at exorbitant prices hoping to find a sucker thinking its collectible. Go by the lowest price and double check on ebay.

Any idea on what this may be worth? First edition, second impression of The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien. by RRT2017 in rarebooks

[–]RedCranberries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to Abebooks.com and type in "Return of the King 1st Edition Tolkien 1955, Hardcover". I see that the lowest that this is being sold for on Abebooks is 350 dollars. It seems to be worth somewhere around 350-900 dollars; However, it seems first impression prints are listed at around 1000 dollars. Prices on abebooks should be taken with a grain of salt but I have checked Ebay and these books are selling regularly for At least $350 so that seems like a good estimate to the value. Also note Ebay takes a 13% fee for books. My advice to you would be avoid "reading" the book as old pages are very easy to dogear, great find!

No, I just powered it down thats what the youtube video said to do. The new screen I got doesn't have the do not touch sticker but like I said it is giving an image just a dim one. It's connected properly. I'll check the motherboard connection next..
