I'm 23 and every morning when I wake up, I feel this weird pain on the left side of my chest, right above my breast. It usually goes away after about 5 to 10 minutes. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The intermittent morning chest pain on your left side, resolving within 5-10 minutes, could be related to musculoskeletal issues, such as costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage connecting ribs to breastbone) or pectoral muscle strain; however, given your age and symptom location, other possible causes, including cardiac conditions, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety, should be explored

View allI just got my health check-up results and I'm a bit concerned. My cholesterol levels came back higher than expected. Here are the details: Total Cholesterol is 254, Triglycerides 240, LDL 209, and HDL is 31.36. What should I do about this? I'm pretty worried.
Based on your health checkup results, your cholesterol levels are indeed high. To help lower your cholesterol levels, I recommend making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, you may benefit from taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels. It's important to continue monitoring your cholesterol levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance

I'm a bit worried about my 65-year-old relative who recently had an angiography, and it showed they have about three blockages in the 70-80% range. We're not totally sure about the accuracy of the angiography report we got, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have another angiography done. If so, how long should we wait between the two procedures? Also, could doing a repeat angiography pose any risks or problems for them?
Repeat angiography can be done if there are doubts about the initial report. The interval between two angiographies is usually around 6-12 months, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendation of the treating physician. Repeating angiography may pose some risks such as contrast-induced nephropathy or allergic reactions, but these risks are generally low and can be managed by the medical team.
