Question

I'm a 25-year-old woman and just got my lipid profile results back. My HDL cholesterol is at 42 mgdL, and I heard that's not great. What can I do to increase it? I'm a bit worried about it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Question

What is the most popular medication for high blood pressure?

Question

I'm 27 and have had no bad habits. For the last eight months, I've been experiencing these quick chest pains on the left side; they just last about 5 to 15 seconds, and they come and go. I've been to the cardiologist and had around 20 ECGs, an echo, and a lipid profile done, and everything came back normal. The thing is, I don't feel any pain during heavy work, just at random times. I'm worried and wondering if this is a heart issue or maybe something physiological? Also, at home, my heart rate is slow, but as soon as I enter the hospital and the tension hits, my heart rate spikes. What could be going on?

Question

I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?
