I've been feeling pretty anxious about my heart health lately. A while back, I did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray twice, and a TMT, and it was like 8 months ago. My BP is usually around 150, and my LDL is 138. I got a blood test, and it was normal. I'm on the heavier side but don't smoke or drink and there's no family history of heart issues. Still, I get these short, sharp pains in my left chest, like they disappear in seconds, and sometimes there's this bubbling or vibrating sensation there too. Plus, there are moments when my left chest and bicep feel like they're pounding, just for a few seconds. Recently, when I'm walking, it feels like I'm wobbling or floating, and my legs and hands feel lighter. The doctor said not to worry and just keep my BP and LDL in check, but I'm still worried. What should I do?

"Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to focus on controlling your blood pressure and LDL levels to reduce the risk of heart issues. In addition to lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet, you may benefit from medication to manage your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting a medication like Atorvastatin (10mg) to lower your LDL levels and Amlodipine (5mg) to help control your blood pressure. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow up regularly for monitoring and adjustments if needed."

View allI'm really worried about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is now 273 and my LDL cholesterol is at 191, which has gone up from 180. My TcholHDL ratio has also increased to 6.5, and it used to be lower. The LDLHDL ratio is now 4.5, and it was around 2.5 before. My non-HDL cholesterol is 230.92. With all these numbers going up, am I at risk? What should I do to bring everything back to normal? Also, my triglycerides have improved a bit, now at 182 from 305, but I'm still concerned. Would appreciate some guidance.
Your cholesterol levels indicate that you are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. To help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, medication may be prescribed by your doctor to help manage your cholesterol levels. For your high LDL cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage recommended by your healthcare provider. This medication helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. To improve your cholesterol ratios and overall lipid profile, you can also discuss with your doctor about taking Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a suitable dosage. Fenofibrate helps lower triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol levels, which can further reduce your cardiovascular risk. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.

I'm really concerned about my daughter's health. She's 30 and works in IT as a software engineer. Lately, she's been experiencing a lot of laziness, and I'm worried because she always has low blood pressure, less than 10070. Is this something we should be worried about, or can low BP just vary from person to person?
Low blood pressure (less than 10070 mmHg) can be normal for some individuals and may not cause any symptoms. However, if your daughter is experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or frequent laziness, it could be due to her low blood pressure or other underlying conditions. Its important to evaluate potential causes, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even the effects of a sedentary lifestyle associated with her IT job. Encouraging her to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and incorporate regular physical activity can help. If her symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and provide personalized advice.

I'm really worried about my dad. He suddenly started having this pain on both sides of his chest and hes having trouble breathing. The pain gets really bad when he walks or even with the slightest movement. We got his ECG, CBC, and Trop T reports done and they all came back normal, but it's been four days and he hasn't felt any better. What could be causing this and what should we do next?
