I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a really low heart rate. It gets worse when I lay down, almost like it becomes harder to breathe. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

View allI recently did a master health check-up and found my LDL cholesterol is at 120. The ECG shows "sinus rhythm incomplete right bundle branch block." The doctor prescribed Arvast 10 mg and suggested I start walking. I noticed my MCV is at 54, lymphocytes at 45, ALT in the liver function test is 51, and serum urea is 15. Does everything look normal in the report, especially with the ECG?
may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. As for your medication, ARVAST 10 Mg is a common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, maintaining a regular walking routine as advised by your doctor can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health. Regarding your other test results, a MCV of 54 is within the normal range. A lymphocyte count of 45 is also within normal limits. An ALT level of 51 is slightly elevated, which may indicate some liver inflammation or damage. For this, you may consider taking medication to improve liver function.

I'm really worried because after recovering from COVID in May, I've been having chest pain that comes and goes. At first, it eased up but then returned. I had a couple of ECGs; one was normal, but three months later, it showed an irregular heartbeat, although all other tests came back normal. My doctor thinks it might be costochondritis since the pain is really sharp and in the upper rib area. Last night things got intenseI woke up suddenly with really strong palpitations. A doctor I know recommended some medications including Thiospas 4 mg, Tramadol, and Dexa 4 mg for 3 days, to be tapered slowly. I've already taken steroids during my COVID treatment for about 9 days, and I'm really anxious about taking them again. Should I go ahead with this treatment? I need advice quickly.
Its understandable to be cautious after taking steroids during COVID. Given that your chest pain and irregular heartbeat are likely due to costochondritis, the suggested medications may help, but steroids like Dexa should only be taken under close medical supervision. It's important to discuss your concerns with your doctor, especially about tapering off steroids safely.
