Ive been feeling really tired lately, and all my tests came back normal except for my lipid profile. Turns out my cholesterol level is really low. My LDL cholesterol is at 30, the LDLHDL ratio is 0.61, and the cholesterolHDL ratio is 1.76. Should I be worried about this? It's really stressing me out.

Having a low cholesterol level, especially low LDL cholesterol level, is generally considered beneficial for heart health. Your LDLHDL ratio and cholesterolHDL ratio are also within normal ranges, which is a good sign. However, if you are feeling tired and stressed, it's important to address those symptoms. To help with your fatigue and stress, you can consider taking a multivitamin supplement like Centrum to ensure you are getting all the essential nutrients. Additionally, you can try a natural supplement like Rhodiola Rosea to help with stress management. Make sure to get enough rest, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist, consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allSo my mom had a very mild case of COVID, and it's been over two weeks since she's recovered, but she's been having this slight chest pain every now and then. It doesn't last long, like about 34 minutes at most. Im kinda worried about what could be causing this. Any idea what might be going on?
Chest pain that comes and goes after recovering from COVID-19 could be due to inflammation of the chest wall muscles or costochondritis. I recommend she take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm having some pain that I'm worried about. It's mostly on my left elbow, both upper and sometimes the inner part, and I also feel pain just below my left ear on the jaw. Besides that, I get this discomfort below my left chest and it usually happens when Ive got gas. I've had an ECG done back in August and everything came out normal, but I'm still concerned. The pain kind of comes and goes without any chest pressure or breathing issues. Could this be heart-related? Sometimes the pain hits my back too. My blood pressure is 127 over 79 and my total cholesterol level is 264. Do these symptoms sound like I should be worried about my heart?
Based on the symptoms you have described, such as pain in the left elbow, left jaw, below the left chest, and sometimes in the back, which worsen when you have gas, along with normal ECG results and absence of chest pressure or breathing problems, it is less likely to be cardiac-related. The pain you are experiencing may be musculoskeletal or related to gastrointestinal issues. For the pain in your left elbow and jaw, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. For gas relief, you can try simethicone-based antacids. Additionally, for high cholesterol levels, you may consider starting a statin medication like atorvastatin at a low dose. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to help manage your cholesterol levels.

I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experienced some palpitations afterward, which have since improved over time. After recovering, I did a holter monitor test that was normal except for Sinus Arrhythmia, which my doctor said was normal. My Echo test in October also came back normal. I often check my pulse rate and oxygen because of occasional palpitations since the Covid infection. Do you think I need more tests because of this short pulse interval message?
An echo is advised to the patient.
