Question

I'm having trouble breathing when I lie on my back, and I've been dealing with chest pain. There's no constant cough, but I do cough sometimes, and I haven't had a fever. I've also been experiencing nausea and the urge to vomit, along with shortness of breath. Every now and then, my head spins, and I start sweating and feeling numbness in my body. It's been about 57 days now with the breathing trouble, short breath, and chest painshould I be worried? Is it safe for me to visit a hospital right now?

Question

I've been having headaches and palpitations at the same time for years, but my ECG always comes back normal, so I didn't see any point in getting more tests like a 2D echo. Lately, these issues have gotten worse, and it sometimes feels like my heart's being crushed. The only thing that helps is coughing. I've also noticed my feet are swelling. My blood work shows high cholesterol and SGPT levelswhat does that mean?

Question

I'm reviewing my lipid profile report, and I'm a bit concerned. My triglycerides are at 203, total cholesterol is 238, LDL cholesterol is 158, HDL cholesterol is 39, and VLDL is 41. I'm not sure if these numbers are within normal range. I'm trying to manage my weight, which is currently 73kg, because I had some palpitations about four months ago. I'm on a diet now, but I'm worried about these levels. Could you guide me on whether these are normal and how I might improve them?

Question

I'm dealing with this strange chest pain situation on my left side. It's kind of like a sharp electric shock that lasts for about 12 seconds, then it's just gone. The spot where it happens is almost always the same, and it's been randomly showing up and disappearing for the last 10 days. Could you help me figure out what this might be?
