Is it gas or heart attack?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heart attack feels like pressure on chest cannot be relieved by antacids,associated with breathlessness. One can not entirely differentiate chest pain due to gas from chest pain due to heart attack based on symptoms only. You may need to visit a hospital and get evaluated by a health-care provider.

I recently got my ECG done just as a routine check-up, and it came back with a note saying 'suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction.' What exactly does this mean, and should I be worried about it?
suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction on your ECG means there may be a heart attack in the front part of the heart. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, Clopidogrel 75mg once daily, and Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to prevent further complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels; they're at 255 and 320. What lifestyle changes can I make to improve these? Also, are there any over-the-counter meds that are safe for bringing my triglycerides back to normal? I could really use your advice.
To lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you should make the following lifestyle changes: - Follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. - Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. - Maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. As for over-the-counter medication to lower triglycerides, you can consider using fish oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can help reduce triglyceride levels. The recommended dosage is typically 1 to 4 grams per day, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
