I'm really concerned about my husband who's 41 years old. He's been experiencing some pain on the left side of his chest every now and then, but when we did an ECG and an X-ray, everything came back normal. He weighs about 78 kg. Should I be worried even though the tests are normal? What else could be causing this pain?

View allI've been having episodes of shortness of breath without any pain, and I'm really worried after my visit to the emergency at Medanta. They did a couple of troponin T tests; one came out negative, but the other was positiveshould I be worried about that? Then they did a coronary angiography, which came back normal, thank goodness, but they also did a CT coronary angiography, and the results are attached. Could you help me understand what's going on in the report and what my next steps should be in terms of treatment?
I see that you have undergone various tests for shortness of breath and have received conflicting results on troponin T tests. The normal coronary angiography results are reassuring. As for the CT coronary angiography report, without seeing the specific details, I cannot provide a detailed explanation. However, based on the information provided, it seems like further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In terms of treatment, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment and to discuss the next steps.

I've got high cholesterol and I'm wondering if having 1kg of milk daily is okay or if I should cut back. Can you suggest how much milk would be beneficial for my condition?
For high cholesterol, consuming 1kg of milk per day may not be the best approach as it is high in saturated fats which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes low-fat dairy products in moderation. A more suitable option for managing cholesterol levels would be to incorporate plant-based alternatives such as almond milk or soy milk which are lower in saturated fats. Additionally, including foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, fruits, and vegetables can help lower cholesterol levels. There is no specific dosage of milk recommended for managing cholesterol, but it is advisable to consult with a dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health needs.
