I've just got my routine test results and it says I have high cholesterol and triglycerides. My cholesterol is at 258 and triglycerides at 378. I'm really worried about what this means and which medicine I should consider taking. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?

Question

I've been experiencing some chest pain and it's really hard to take a deep breath. I also have this tingling feeling on the right side of my chest, near the breast area, and it's making me feel really suffocated. What's going on with me?

Question

My dad is 66 and had a CABG around 16 months ago. He's been really diligent with his exercises, simple yoga, and diet as advised by his surgeon. Lately, though, he's been having sudden pains on the left side that extend to his wrist, fingers, chest, upper back, and neck. Using ointment seems to help after a bit, but these pains have become more frequent. The doctor mentioned it might be muscle pain, but since it's been 1.5 years since his surgery, we're getting worried. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on?
