I'm experiencing pain when I tilt my head towards my left shoulder. I also have thyroid issues and asthma. When I move my neck to the left, there's this pain that travels from the back of my neck to my chest. Could this be something connected to my heart?

it may not necessarily be related to your heart. It could be due to muscle strain or tension in your neck and chest area. However, given your history of thyroid issues and asthma, it is important to rule out any other potential causes. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle neck stretches may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I was wondering if an ECG could show signs of WPW syndrome. Lately, I've noticed that my heart rate sometimes speeds up, and I'm currently on Dilzem. Could you provide some guidance on this?

Yes, an ECG can show signs of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Since your heart rate increases at times, Dilzem (Diltiazem) is a calcium channel blocker that can help manage this condition. The usual dosage for Dilzem in WPW syndrome is 120-360mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the correct dosage and frequency.

I'm 32 and just found out my triglycerides are at 360. Should I be taking meds to bring it down, or is there a natural way to manage this? Really need some guidance here.

For your triglyceride level of 360, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes first to try and lower it naturally. This includes maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. However, if these measures are not enough to lower your triglycerides, medication may be necessary. You can consider using Atorvastatin 10mg once daily to help lower your triglyceride levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
