I'm waking up every morning and experiencing this pain in my heart for a few minutes before it starts feeling better. It's becoming a regular thing and I'm a bit concerned about what's going on. Could this be something serious or should I not worry too much?

Question

I'm a 37-year-old male with a height of 162 cm and a weight of 76 kg. I don't eat non-veg too often, maybe 5 to 6 times a month, and I keep my oil and fat intake pretty low. My job involves spending a lot of time at a desk, so I hardly get any exercise. I just got my cholesterol report, and it says my total cholesterol is 236, triglycerides are 258, HDL is 39, LDL is 153, and my non-HDL cholesterol is 197. The CHOLHDL ratio is 6.1 and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.9. It also showed very low-density lipoprotein at 51.6. My liver enzymes, AGT SGOT and ALTS GPT, are 25 and 49, respectively. My vitamin D level is quite low at 12.94. I'm a bit worried about all these numbers. What should I be doing next? Any advice would help.

Question

I've been dealing with some heart issues after my open heart surgery in 2016 for ASD closure. Lately, I've noticed that my resting heart rate at night sometimes drops below 55, and it feels like my heart might be skipping a beat now and then. Although my 2D Echo results are normal aside from a Grade I diastolic dysfunction, every time I do an ECG at the clinic, it shows a high heart rate but with a sinus rhythm. I've been on Seloken XL 50 every morning and Telmisartan 20mg for the past month, and my doctor wants me to continue for another three months, saying it's just anxiety. I'm kind of worried, though, about whether there's anything concerning with the low heart rate. What should I do?

Question

I'm feeling some pain on the left side of my chest. It's not constant, and sometimes it just goes away on its own. I'm kinda worried about what this could mean or if I should be concerned. Any ideas on what might be going on?
