Question 1

I'm really not that great at English, so bear with me. Anyway, about five days ago, I started feeling this chest tightness and had a lump-in-the-throat kind of feeling. I checked online and decided to drink a bottle of Smirnoff Mule vodkait works as my soda substitute. It helped a bit, though I could still feel a bit of tightness, but not as bad as before. So now, three days later, I'm feeling this discomfort in my lower left rib cage and my back, but there's no pain when I press on the area, and it disappeared after 24 hours. Right now, it's more about discomfort on the left side of my throat when I swallow, near my Adam's apple. I haven't had a fever since last week, either. Could you guide me on where I might be able to have a general check-up around the BGC or Pembo Makati area?

Question 2

I've been dealing with lumbar radiculopathy and am finally in the recovery phase. I recently got my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are at 180. Should I be worried about this level? What can I do to bring those numbers down?

Accepted Answer

A triglyceride level of 180 mgdL is slightly above the normal range. To reduce your triglyceride levels, you can make some lifestyle changes such as: - Following a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars - Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts - Exercising regularly - Limiting alcohol consumption - Quitting smoking if you smoke In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medication to help lower your triglyceride levels. One common medication used for this purpose is Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-80 mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
