I've been having this chest pain on the right side near my shoulder for a couple of months now. I saw a doctor near my place, and he checked me out, saying there's nothing to worry about, but the pain is still bothering me. He gave me some medicine called UGESIC 20mg and suggested I get an HB test. What could this pain mean, and should I be doing something more or different?

Question

I'm Ajay Sharma and I'm worried because my cholesterol is high. My total cholesterol is 231, triglycerides are at 248, HDL is 35, LDL is 146, and my non-HDL is 196. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Question

I've noticed that every afternoon when I try to take a rest, my heartbeat feels really high, and the only time I seem to realize it is when I'm lying down in bed. It's becoming a bit concerning. Is it normal to experience something like this, or should I be worried about it? Could there be any specific reason for my heart to race at that time of day?

Question

I've recently had a stress echo and it came back negative. Ten years ago, in 2011, I had an angiogram and it looked fine then too. In 2015, I went through a nuclear test, treadmill test, and some other checks, and they all turned out normal. Lately, Ive been having this dull pain in my neck that sometimes reaches up to my ear and jaw, and it also bothers my shoulder. My neck and upper back always feel stiff. My physiotherapist says my posture is pretty poor, mentions scoliosis, and thinks that might be causing this pain. I don't have issues when I'm walking and I can climb up to 12 floors without a problem but the neck and back pain, especially on the left side, really gets to me. Occasionally, I feel a sharp pain on the left side of my chest, but it fades away quickly. My chest is tender, and some spots are really sore to touch. Do you think it's safe to rule out any cardiac causes? Is there any other test I should consider doing?
