I'm really concerned about this chest pain I've been experiencing since September 2016. It's deep on the right side of my chest, and it's not sharp, but more like a burning sensation. It feels like there's this big hollow hole and sometimes it feels like something's writhing or like a contracting muscle in there. It's at its worst when I'm sitting up. The only time I feel a bit relieved is when I'm leaned back at least 45 degrees or lying down. Ive noticed it gets worse on days I dont get enough sleep, but it doesnt seem to be affected by food or anything else. I don't have trouble breathing, exercising, or sleeping, but this feeling is constantly there throughout the day. Sometimes it's so intense I have to pause everything and lie down. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

View allI'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels after getting my test results. My total cholesterol is 179 mgdL, and my HDL is 54 mgdL, but my triglycerides are 255 mgdL. The LDL came in at 77 mgdL and VLDL was calculated at 50.9 mgdL. I've read that the TCHDL ratio is 3.3, and the LDLHDL ratio is 1.4are these numbers okay? Should I be concerned about my triglycerides and how they might affect my health? What should I do next?
The lipid profile results show that your total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels are within normal ranges. However, your VLDL cholesterol level is slightly elevated, which may increase your risk of heart disease. To help lower your triglyceride levels and VLDL cholesterol, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-80 mg per day. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to improve your lipid profile.

I've been experiencing some strong side effects like muscle pain, dizziness, and shaky hands and legs from taking Rozavel and Pivasta. Are there any realistic alternatives or supplements in the Indian market that could lower my LDL by around 15-20% without serious side effects? I've heard about things like Coeveleselam, but I'd love to know more.
U can try exercise and diet control with low dose artorvastatin

I'm considering switching from Teleact 40 manufactured by Ranbaxy to Telmikind 40 by Mankind because the latter is more affordable. Do you think it's okay to make this change? I'm curious if there's any difference between the two in terms of effectiveness or potential side effects. Could you shed some light on this for me?
composition is same in both the medications, .
