I've been having chest pain for the past 56 days and it started with my back. I've done an ECG three times and an ECO once. My blood pressure is 14090, and I'm on Hifen Pofloxacin 400, Ecosprin 75, Amlovas 20, and a PPI as prescribed by my physician, but the pain in my chest is still there. Sometimes it even goes to my left hand. What should I do now?

Based on your symptoms and medications, it seems like you may be experiencing chest pain due to cardiac issues. Since the pain is still persistent and sometimes radiates to your left hand, it is important to seek further medical evaluation. I recommend that you consult with your physician to consider adjusting your current medication regimen. In the meantime, you can take a nitroglycerin tablet for immediate relief of chest pain. Additionally, it would be beneficial to undergo further cardiac investigations such as a stress test or coronary angiography to rule out any underlying heart conditions.

View allI've got some concerns about my cholesterol levels and was wondering if I should start taking statins. My total cholesterol is 196, LDL is 130, HDL is 35, and triglycerides are 101. I weigh 60 kg, my height is 169 cm, and I exercise regularly while sticking to an oil-free diet. I'm on Thyronorm 50 for hypothyroidism. I don't usually feel bad, but I get breathless climbing 2 or 3 floors. All my tests like ECG, 2D echo, and TMT have come back normal. Should I be worried about starting medication?
Based on your total cholesterol of 196, LDL of 130, HDL of 35, and triglycerides of 101, along with your symptoms of feeling breathless when climbing 2 to 3 floors, you may benefit from taking a statin drug to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of cardiovascular events. Since you are already taking Thyronorm 50 for hypothyroidism, it is important to consider any potential drug interactions with statins. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease. Remember to continue your regular exercise and oil-free diet for overall heart health.

I'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry. My cholesterol is at 240 and my blood pressure is around 13090. My sugar levels are almost normal and I weigh 70 kgs with a 5.5 height. I follow a light veg South rice diet and don't eat meat. What's causing this chest pain and geyser-like hot sensation? It's really unsettling and causing me some social anxiety. I'm not married and I don't really have much of a social life. What should I do?

I'm wondering if it's necessary to get an echo test for my mom. She's 47 and has slightly high cholesterol, but her ECG is normal. Should we be concerned about any potential heart issues, or is it okay to skip the echo test for now?
If your mother has high cholesterol and there are concerns about her heart health, it may be beneficial to get an echocardiogram (echo) done even if the ECG is normal. An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart and can provide valuable information about the structure and function of the heart. It can help assess for any potential heart conditions that may not be detected by an ECG alone. In this case, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist who can recommend the appropriate course of action based on your mother's individual health profile.
