I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels. My latest reading is 202 mgdL, triglycerides are at 167, HDL is 46, and LDL is 112. What steps can I take to keep these numbers in check?

I'm experiencing something strange over the last couple of days. My pulse rhythm seems normal, but I've been having this weird fluttering sensation in my neck, kind of a vague feeling. It usually happens after I eat. I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about. What could be causing this?

The symptoms you are describing, such as fluttering in the neck and a vague feeling, could be related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing esophageal spasms. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been having chest pain for the past two months along with a fast heartbeat but my ECG came back normal. Next week I'm scheduled for inguinal scrotal hernia surgery and my PFT test showed small airway obstruction with severe restriction on spirometry though the doctor said it's fine. Should I be concerned about these results or is there something else I should do?
