Problem: Article: There's a lot of information and fancy scientific and medical language — for example, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and so on — that can be very confusing. It's best to get clear, precise and up-to-date information from your doctor about your health and risk levels. The medical community still is unsure of exactly what triglyceride levels mean and signify for developing serious heart conditions. While we know that high triglyceride levels have been correlated with increased risk of developing heart disease, the relationship between lowered triglyceride levels and reduced heart disease risk is less clear. It's best to talk to your doctor to get the most recent and relevant information for your particular situation. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a triglyceride level of 100 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) or lower is considered "optimal" for heart health. There's a scale you can consult to learn what "normal" levels of triglycerides actually means:   Normal — Less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or less than 1.7 millimoles per liter (mmol/L)  Borderline high — 150 to 199 mg/dL (1.8 to 2.2 mmol/L)  High — 200 to 499 mg/dL (2.3 to 5.6 mmol/L)  Very high — 500 mg/dL or above (5.7 mmol/L or above) For some people with high triglycerides, medicine may be the only quick-acting solution; however, doctors generally try to prescribe medication to lower triglyceride levels as a last resort since it can be complicated, particularly if you have other health or medical conditions. Your doctor will usually check for high triglycerides as part of a cholesterol test (sometimes called a lipid panel or lipid profile) before recommending any prescribed medications. You'll have to fast for nine to 12 hours (to lower your blood sugar) before blood can be drawn for an accurate triglyceride measurement. This is the only way to know if you're a candidate for medication. Here are are several medications that can improve triglyceride levels:  Fibrates, such as Lopid, Fibricor, and Tricor Nicotinic acid, or Niaspan High-doses of prescribed omega-3s, such as Epanova, Lovaza, and Vascepa
Summary: Consult your physician. Know what's normal. Ask your doctor about medication.

Problem: Article: Fleas do not just exist on your cats and kittens. They can live in the surrounding environment for a long time. In addition to treating your cats with flea combs, medications, and baths, you should wash all the bedding they use in warm water. Wash the bedding regularly as long as an infestation lasts. You should also wash any cloth toys in warm, soapy water. Fleas can live in your furniture and carpet. During an infestation, vacuum frequently to remove flea eggs and larvae from your home. Vacuum the carpet in addition to any upholstered furniture. If you're still seeing fleas after taking all the proper precautions, consider hiring professional help. Fleas are not just a nuisance. They can carry diseases, such as worms, that can be more dangerous to younger cats. Make sure you know what to do with your pets during the extermination process. You may have to keep your pets outside of your home before and after your home is treated for pests. You do not want to risk letting fleas back in after an infestation as passed. Fleas can get in from outside if you track in organic materials, such as leaves and dirt. Keeping your home free of such materials can help keep your home free of fleas.
Summary: Wash all bedding in hot water. Vacuum frequently. Consider professional exterminators for extreme cases. Keep debris out of your home.
