I've been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, right around my heart, and I'm also having a lot of burping, indigestion, and gas issues. I'm trying to figure out if this is something to do with my heart or maybe it's just my stomach acting up. What kind of doctor should I see for this?

I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've just got my lipid test results back. I'm a bit concerned about some of the numbers, like the LDL at 120 mgdl, triglycerides at 231 mgdl, and VLDL at 46.2 mgdl. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is also 7.4. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next for treatment or lifestyle changes?
Based on your lipid test results, your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglycerides, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as following a healthy diet low in sugars and refined carbohydrates, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, medication may also be necessary to help lower your triglyceride levels. I recommend starting with a prescription of Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg once daily. This medication can help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your lipid levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
