I'm having this chest pain on the left side about 30 to 40 minutes after falling asleep, and it even comes with a bit of sweating. Once it starts, I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in without it hurting, so I've been sleeping in an easy chair for the past five days. I started taking Tonact TG for my high cholesterol, which is 290. I'm also on Thyronorm 75 and Telmisartan 40. My TSH levels and blood pressure are normal. Should I be worried about this chest pain and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort that could be related to a few different factors, including your cholesterol and medications. Since the pain is persistent and affects your sleep, it's important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any heart-related issues and ensure the medications are working well for you. If the pain persists, consider an evaluation for possible musculoskeletal causes or other conditions that might be contributing.

I've been feeling a bit off with some discomfort and pressure in the middle of my chest for the past four days. It kind of comes and goes, and sometimes it suddenly gets really painful. I have this fear of vomiting (emetophobia) so anything unusual with my body really freaks me out. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
