I'm really worried about my husband. He's been experiencing muscle twitching on the left side of his chest every now and then, like about once a week. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI was wondering if an ECG could show signs of WPW syndrome. Lately, I've noticed that my heart rate sometimes speeds up, and I'm currently on Dilzem. Could you provide some guidance on this?
Yes, an ECG can show signs of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Since your heart rate increases at times, Dilzem (Diltiazem) is a calcium channel blocker that can help manage this condition. The usual dosage for Dilzem in WPW syndrome is 120-360mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the correct dosage and frequency.

I've just gotten my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried because my HDL cholesterol level is pretty low at 29 mgdl. Plus, my TCHDL cholesterol ratio is 5.2. Could you tell me what this means and how I might improve these numbers?
Low HDL cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart disease. To improve your HDL cholesterol levels and lower your TCHDL cholesterol ratio, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your cholesterol levels.
