I'm hoping to put on some weight by doing heavy weight lifting exercises, but I've been worried about my echo report from last October. It was just a routine checkup, and I'm completely fit, feeling fine, and have no issues. I do brisk walking for 45 minutes daily without any problems. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a mitral valve prolapse or if mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation is a concern. Could you advise me on how much weight I can safely lift given this condition? I've attached my report below.

During my recent checkup, all my cholesterol levels came back high total cholesterol at 257, triglycerides 216, HDL 40, LDL 174, VLDL 43, and non-HDL at 217. I had gallbladder and appendicitis surgery back in 2014. Could these surgeries be linked to my high cholesterol? What could be causing this, and how can I bring these numbers down? Also, what symptoms should I watch out for that might mean things are getting worse?

I'm really confused and a bit worried. I've had all my tests like Blood Cs, Blood test, Urine test, sugar, and ECG done, and everything came back normal. But since June 6th, I've had this weird cold sensation in my hands and feet. I almost fainted after the gym, and now I'm constantly experiencing shortness of breath, feeling weak, sleepy, and hungry all the time. Even a quick walk or a swim makes me really feel my heart. What could be going on with me?
