Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

I'm 35 and recently got some blood work done. My LDL is at 123, triglycerides are 100, and my cholesterol is 178. I'm pretty worried about the LDL number. Are these levels okay, or should I be concerned? Can you help clear up my doubt?

Based on the provided readings, your LDL level of 123 mgdL falls within the optimal range for LDL cholesterol (less than 100 mgdL is considered optimal). Your triglyceride level of 100 mgdL is also within the normal range (less than 150 mgdL is considered normal). Additionally, your total cholesterol level of 178 mgdL is within the desirable range (less than 200 mgdL is considered desirable). Overall, your lipid profile seems to be within normal limits. However, it is always important to consider other risk factors for heart disease and consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation.

I'm a 33-year-old guy who hits the gym pretty regularly. I had my blood pressure checked around 2 p.m. and it was 140 over 80. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 14080 is slightly elevated. For individuals under 60 years old, the ideal blood pressure is typically considered to be below 12080. Since you are physically active and regularly go to the gym, lifestyle modifications can be the first step in managing your blood pressure. However, if your blood pressure remains consistently elevated, medication may be necessary. I recommend you try to incorporate more cardiovascular exercise and a low-sodium diet into your routine. If needed, you can consider taking medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm hoping to put on some weight by doing heavy weight lifting exercises, but I've been worried about my echo report from last October. It was just a routine checkup, and I'm completely fit, feeling fine, and have no issues. I do brisk walking for 45 minutes daily without any problems. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a mitral valve prolapse or if mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation is a concern. Could you advise me on how much weight I can safely lift given this condition? I've attached my report below.

Moderate weight lifting is advised.
