I'm feeling this strange pulsating sensation in my left ribs that goes down my armpit, and I'm having some chest pain as well. It's pretty unsettling, and on top of that, my left hand and leg keep sweating. This mostly happens at night, and I notice my heart is beating faster during these episodes. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

View allI'm looking at my cholesterol numbers and I'm a bit worried. My total cholesterol is 226.3 mgdL, LDL is 145.7 mgdL, and triglycerides are 190.5 mgdL. Is this something I should be really concerned about? What does this mean for my health?
Cholesterol total of 226.3mgdl, LDL cholesterol of 145.7mgdl, and triglycerides of 190.5mgdl indicate slightly elevated levels, which may increase the risk of heart disease. To help lower these levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower LDL cholesterol and Fenofibrate 145mg once daily to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also be beneficial.

I'm curious if it's normal for my heart to race and beat really hard, almost like it's going to jump out of my chest, whenever I'm anxious or getting up from sleeping. It feels pretty intense and I'm also quite thin. I've done an ECG, an echo, and had blood tests, and everything came back normal. Is this something I should be worried about?
Experiencing a racing heart and strong heartbeats when anxious or when standing up quickly can be related to anxiety and a condition called orthostatic hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing. Given that your ECG, echo, and blood tests are normal, it's less likely to be a severe cardiac issue. Managing anxiety through techniques like deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or therapy can help. Additionally, when standing up, try to do it slowly to give your body time to adjust. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss additional strategies for managing your symptoms.

So my mom had a very mild case of COVID, and it's been over two weeks since she's recovered, but she's been having this slight chest pain every now and then. It doesn't last long, like about 34 minutes at most. Im kinda worried about what could be causing this. Any idea what might be going on?
Chest pain that comes and goes after recovering from COVID-19 could be due to inflammation of the chest wall muscles or costochondritis. I recommend she take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
