I'm dealing with Celiac Disease and mild Asthma, and I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood and echo test results. The tests showed that my total cholesterol is at 2212, and there's a mention of mild LVH with Grade 1 LVDD. It got me worried about whether I'm at risk of any heart problems. Could you help me understand these results and what they might mean for my heart health?

Based on your test results, your total cholesterol level is 221 which is slightly elevated. For mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction), it is important to manage your conditions to prevent any further complications. For your cholesterol level, you can consider taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. For mild LVH and LVDD, it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend medications such as Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help with your heart condition. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to support your overall health and well-being.

View allI'm noticing my blood pressure is all over the place, swinging between 11179 and 13389 over the past week. Do you think I should be on medication for this? Also, my lipid profile shows total cholesterol at 202, triglycerides at 237, LDL at 158, and HDL at 34. Should I be worried about these levels?
Your blood pressure readings are fluctuating within a borderline range, and considering your lipid profile results, medication may be beneficial to manage both your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a combination medication like "Caduet" which contains Amlodipine 5mg and Atorvastatin 10mg. You can take 1 tablet daily in the evening. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm having these episodes of anxiety throughout the day, and even when I'm calm and just doing my usual stuff, it sometimes feels like my heart skips a beat or beats really hard. It freaks me out. I can't tell if it's just the anxiety acting up or if there's something else going on. Any idea what's causing this? I'm really worried.
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be a common symptom of anxiety. However, it's important to rule out any other underlying medical conditions that may be causing these symptoms. I recommend you try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg twice daily to help with both the anxiety and palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms.

I'm 21 and recently, I've been having these awful symptoms like fever, headache, neck pain, and muscle strain for a few days now. My blood pressure was really high at one point, 160 over 100, but it's slightly better now at 140 over 70. However, I'm experiencing some serious chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath, which is quite worrying. My hemoglobin level is just 7, and I'm usually pretty active with yoga and cardio workouts. My weight is 52 kg and so is my height in inches, which I know is unusual. Could all of these symptoms be connected, and should I be doing anything specific to address them?
Diagnosis is anaemia hb 7 , kindly consult the physicisn for further management.
