I'm a bit worried about my heart rate. It usually falls between 96 and 118 beats per minute. I don't have any blood pressure issues, and everything else seems normal. Is it okay for my heartbeat to be in that range?

View allI'm curious about my health situation. I've been on Amcard for the past 10 years, but this year my blood pressure isn't controlled. I recently did a lipid profile, and while my cholesterol level went down from 210 to 165, my triglycerides have gone up from 135 to 195. I also drink about 200 ml of alcohol every day and have been doing so for the last 30 years. Could this be affecting my test results, and should I be concerned or make some changes?
Alcohol intake can significantly impact triglyceride levels. I recommend reducing your alcohol consumption to help lower your triglyceride levels. In addition, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Atorvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. The usual dosage for Atorvastatin is 10-80 mg per day, depending on your specific needs. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure and lipid levels effectively.

I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still be something heart-related even if the tests were okay?
Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.

I'm wondering when it's necessary to go for a TMT test. Are there any side effects I should be aware of while considering it?
