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.

I keep waking up with chest pain in the morning. I've already had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and everything came back normal. I'm currently taking acidity tablets. Sometimes I even feel a pinning sensation in my chest. Do you have any advice on how I can make this pain go away?

I've been diagnosed with triple vessel disease, and they recommended angioplasty. I'm really hoping for a less invasive approach, like EECP or chelation therapy, but I can't find any doctors willing to even discuss these alternatives. I'm feeling a bit stuck and just wondering what other options might be out there for me. Would love any advice or insights on possible treatments besides surgery.

I've been having this pain in my chest, specifically on the middle left side, and it's been happening just after I wake up. It only lasts for 1 or 2 minutes, but it comes with an elevated heartbeat, around 90 beats per minute. Should I be worried about this?
