I'm really worried about my dad. For the past couple of months, his CRP and ESR levels have been off, with his recent tests showing CRP at 27 mgL and an ESR of 47. Now hes also been experiencing some heart pain over the last four days. What precautions or steps should we be taking to address these health issues?

I'm a bit concerned because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an echo done and it came out normal, but my TMT results showed mild positive for inducible ischemia. My cholesterol numbers are also worrying me - HDL is 34, triglycerides are at 195, and total cholesterol is 209. I don't smoke and I'm trying to follow the diet and lifestyle changes my cardiologist suggested but I'm still feeling worried. I'm 31 years old and my blood pressure is at 14080. Do you think I might need an angiogram?

Based on your symptoms and test results, it's important to continue following the advice of your cardiologist regarding diet changes and lifestyle activities. In addition, considering your age and the mild positive TMT result, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate any potential blockages in your coronary arteries. To help manage your cholesterol levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower your total cholesterol and triglycerides. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly.
