I've been feeling breathless quite often and my gastroenterologist advised me to cut out salty, spicy, and oily foods from my diet and to take a PAN L tablet in the morning. It's been 10 days since I started this diet, but I'm still having the same symptoms. I'm worried if this might be a heart issue, though my echo and ECG came out fine three months ago. Could it be something to do with my lungs? I'm really anxious because sometimes I feel a heaviness on the left side of my chest, and at times my heart rate suddenly increases. My vitamin B12 levels are normal. I'm not sure if I should stick with this diet or consult someone else. Can you guide me on what to do?

I'm experiencing this left hand cramp and chest pain that comes and goes, and it's been joined by this left arm pain for about eight days now. I went for an ECG yesterday, and they said everything looked normal, though my heart rate was up a bitapparently due to stress. I actually had a similar hand cramp about a month ago. Should I be concerned or look into other causes for these symptoms?

I'm a bit concerned about my health. My blood pressure is sitting at 13585. My cholesterol levels show 141 for cholesterol, 296 for triglycerides, 21 for HDL, 76 for LDL, and 59 for VLDL. My HDL cholesterol ratio is 6.73, and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.62. My blood sugar fasting level is at 91, and I have a mild fatty liver. I'm currently taking Olmity AM 25 and Stanlip 145, each one tablet daily. Is this the right treatment plan, or should I be considering any other medications? I'd appreciate your guidance on this.
