Question

Ive been getting this mild shortness of breath after playing badminton for a short while, and it sticks around for about 15 to 20 minutes even when I'm just resting. Should I be concerned about this? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Question

I've been having this weird pain and heaviness in my lower chest whenever Im alone, like when Im outside by myself or just at home. It starts after a while, and then I get this mild shortness of breath, and my pulse goes up to like 105. I had an X-ray, CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, and 2D echo, but they all came back normal. Also, when I lie down, my feet feel really heavy. Any idea what's going on?

Question

I'm a 37-year-old male with a height of 162 cm and a weight of 76 kg. I don't eat non-veg too often, maybe 5 to 6 times a month, and I keep my oil and fat intake pretty low. My job involves spending a lot of time at a desk, so I hardly get any exercise. I just got my cholesterol report, and it says my total cholesterol is 236, triglycerides are 258, HDL is 39, LDL is 153, and my non-HDL cholesterol is 197. The CHOLHDL ratio is 6.1 and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.9. It also showed very low-density lipoprotein at 51.6. My liver enzymes, AGT SGOT and ALTS GPT, are 25 and 49, respectively. My vitamin D level is quite low at 12.94. I'm a bit worried about all these numbers. What should I be doing next? Any advice would help.

Question

I'm experiencing this sharp pain in my left chest, like someone is poking me with a needle. It's been happening for the last 34 hours, not continuously, but I notice it every few months. It's not regular, but it keeps coming back. What could be causing this?
