I'm really concerned about my recent hscrp test results, which came back at 45. Alongside that, my total cholesterol is 235. What should I be doing about this?

I recommend you start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider taking Aspirin 81mg daily to reduce inflammation. It's also important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise to improve your overall cardiovascular health."

I've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my chest, kind of like a needle prick. I got an ECG done, and it was normal, which is a relief, but my doctor put me on Provonal Forte. I'm just wondering, could this be some kind of chest infection or maybe anxiety acting up?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to anxiety or nerve-related issues. Provanol forte tablet is likely prescribed to help with chest discomfort and anxiety symptoms. However, if you are still feeling needle pricking sensations in your chest, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol for pain relief as needed.

I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?

Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.
