It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause of your chest pain. However, based on your description, it could be related to conditions such as angina or acid reflux. For temporary relief of chest pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. I had really high LDL cholesterol at 293, but after taking medications like Rosuvastatin, changing my diet, and exercising more, my bad cholesterol has apparently gone down to normal. I'm wondering though, since high bad cholesterol is known for causing blockages in arteries, does it mean I'm in the clear now that my levels are normal? Or should I still be worried about any existing blockages?

Question

I'm experiencing this kind of strong pounding pulse throughout my body. It's not really fast, just really strong. I can even see it in my neck when I look in the mirror and I feel it in my fingers and hands when I touch something. I also notice a visible pulse in my stomach and when I'm lying down, my head kind of bobs up and down with my pulse. Right now, even as I'm sitting in bed with my laptop, the pulse is shaking my laptop. This began shortly after I had some issues with anxiety and possible heart problems, but I've been to the hospital multiple times and they've ruled out any heart issues. It often gets triggered after heavy meals and this has been happening for about a year now. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm 23 and don't have any bad habits like alcohol or smoking, but because of my IT job, I'm sitting in front of a laptop a lot. I do eat fast food occasionally. Recently, I've felt a needle-like pain in my right upper chest that only lasts a second, and it has me worried about my heart health. I stress over various things, and I noticed my pulse is usually between 92-100 bpm. This morning it was 97 bpm. Im just wondering if my lack of physical activity might be affecting my heart. Plus, I have some gastric issues too. What do you think might be going on?
