I'm really concerned about some persistent pain in my chest since an auto accident 40 days ago. The x-ray mentioned something about an altered cardio thoracic ratio, and honestly, that's got me a bit worried. I've been using volini and doing hot compresses, but nothing seems to help. Can you advise on what might be going on and what I should do next?

Ive been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?

Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I've got some concerns about my cholesterol and liver enzyme levels. My total cholesterol is at 254 and LDL is 166. On top of that, my SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 120. My doctor is recommending statins, but I'm wondering if that's really necessary? Could I just stick to a healthy diet instead? Would love another perspective on this.

Yes you have to take statins and also follow healthy diet for better results,follow your doctors advice
