I've been experiencing something really strange. Every time I get a cough, I faint for about 20 to 30 seconds. It started happening once a week a couple of weeks ago, but now it's happening every day. I'm really worried because I can't seem to find any doctor or treatment for it. Could you give me some advice on what I should do or where I might find help?

View allI've been dealing with pain in my left hand and left chest even though my 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray all came back normal. It's been a couple of months, and I've also got these gaustic issues. I'm taking razol for it, but I'm wondering if you think I should get any more tests done. Could there be something we're missing?
Given your normal 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray, yet persistent left hand and chest pains, it is possible that your symptoms are related to gastrointestinal issues, especially since you have been experiencing gastric problems for the past two months and are currently taking Razo-L (rabeprazole). Gastric issues, including acid reflux, can sometimes cause chest pain that mimics heart-related pain. While your current tests are reassuring, if your symptoms persist, it may be helpful to undergo further evaluation such as an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy to assess for conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcers. Additionally, consider consulting a gastroenterologist to further explore and manage your gastric symptoms.

I can see my pulse visibly pulsating right below my thumb. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it sure looks odd. I don't remember seeing it there before, or maybe I just never noticed it. Should I be worried or is this normal?

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.
