I'm a 30-year-old male and I've got an LDL cholesterol level of 140mgdl. Recently, I felt some pain in my left arm and now I'm taking rosuvastatin and torigesic for that. I'm wondering if sticking to a good diet and regular exercise will help get everything back to normal, or should I be thinking about getting some more tests done, like maybe an ECG? My blood pressure is sort of normal, so I'm a bit confused about what to do next.
Its optimum in range no need to worry consume balanced diet and have regular physical activity and regular follow up with your doctor

My echo showed mild mitral valve prolapse with trivial mitral regurgitation and trivial tricuspid regurgitation but no mitral stenosis. The doctor said there's a slight issue with my heart valve and prescribed nucoxia, pantocide, amixide, and liv52. They mentioned I'll be okay but I still get symptoms sometimes. Is this condition curable or will I eventually need surgery?
please consult CTVS for better advise.
