I'm struggling with this chest and breast pain that's happening a lot, and it's starting to worry me. It's like a stabbing pain that doesn't stay in one spotit moves around my whole chest. It's messing with my sleep, waking me up sometimes. Even lying down can make it worse. What's going on here? Should I be concerned?

Question

I've had borderline high cholesterol for about a year now. My doctor is suggesting I start on medication, but I'm thinking maybe I could hold off for another month or two and try to make some more lifestyle changes. Is it okay to wait a bit longer before starting meds? And if I do start taking statins, is it possible to stop them later if my cholesterol levels improve?

Question

Every time I drink something cold, I feel it in my chest, and it's really starting to scare me. Could this be a problem?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my ECG showed a small variation, and now my doctor wants me to have an ECHO done. The thing is, I'm in a remote area, and getting to the city for the ECHO will take some effort. Do you think it's okay if I wait and get the ECHO done in about 10 days, or should I try to do it sooner?
