I'm having this chest pain since the afternoon and it's really close to my heart. The pain isn't going away and I'm a bit worried it might be a heart attack. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

Chest pain can be a serious symptom and should not be ignored. If you are experiencing continuous chest pain near your heart, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a potential heart attack. Please consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

View allI'm a 32-year-old who got over Covid about a month ago, and I just got some test results back. Most things look okay, but I'm a bit concerned about my lipid profile. Here's what it says: Total cholesterol is 184, triglycerides are at 286, HDL cholesterol is 38, LDL is 88.8, and VLDL is 57.2. My CRP is 4.5, platelets are 152, D-dimer is 0.34, and ferritin is 113. Should I be worried about these numbers, and do I need to start any meds?
Based on your lipid profile results, it appears that your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your lipid profile. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations.

I've been worried about my dad because he's been experiencing sudden bouts of heavy sweating and weakness, and this happens almost once a month or sometimes every two months. We got an ECG done, and his blood pressure seems normal according to the tests, but I'm still concerned. What might be causing these symptoms, and which specialist should we consult to make sure it's nothing serious?
These symptoms could be indicative of episodes of vasovagal syncope, which can cause sudden heavy sweating and weakness. It is important to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, your father can take Tab. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg once daily to help manage symptoms.
