I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest, and I found out that my ESR is 25. My vitamin D3 level is really low at 3.75. I got a CT scan of my lungs, and everything came back normal. I'm curious if taking vitamin D3 supplements will help with this chest pain, or do you think I should see a cardiologist about it?

View allI'm really worried. My total cholesterol came back as 108 and there's a star next to itwhat does that mean? I've been having heart palpitations and got my ECG, 2D echo, and TMT done, and everything turned out normal. Can you help me figure out whats going on?
A total cholesterol level of 108 mgdL is considered low, and while low cholesterol is generally not a concern, it may sometimes indicate underlying conditions like liver issues or nutrient deficiencies, so its worth discussing with your doctor. Regarding your heart palpitations, its reassuring that your ECG, 2D echo, and TMT tests came back normal, suggesting no immediate heart problems. Palpitations can still be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, caffeine, or electrolyte imbalances, so its important to monitor any triggers or patterns. Ensure you're maintaining a balanced diet (especially electrolytes like potassium and magnesium), managing stress, and avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol. Since your tests are normal, but palpitations persist, you may want to follow up with your doctor for further advice and possibly consider a Holter monitor to track the palpitations more closely.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent blood pressure readings and echo results. Usually, my BP is around 9070, but recently it's been up to 11090 or 11085, and then the cardiologist recorded it as 13090. My echocardiography showed a trace of AR and grade I LV diastolic dysfunction, yet the doctor said everything looked normal. Is it possible that this grade I LV diastolic dysfunction happened just because of my elevated BP at the time, and could it potentially go back to normal by my next echo? I've never really had high BP before, and now it's sometimes at 10070 or even back to 9070 mostly. Just trying to make sense of all this.
Hypertension medications to be continued, cardiologist opinion for echo.

I'm really worried about my 37-year-old brother. He's been having this mild chest pain for a few months now, right in the heart area, and it sometimes radiates to his arms and back. We had an ECG, a TMT which showed a borderline positive at 10 Mets, and an echo doneall normal, and the coronary angiogram was normal too. The local doctor said it's non-cardiac and just gave him painkillers, but I'm not so sure. Could this be microvascular angina since the TMT was mildly positive and the angiogram came back normal? The pain just comes and goes for him, and it's really concerning. Do you have any advice on what this might be?
Based on the symptoms described and the test results provided, it is possible that your brother is experiencing microvascular angina. In such cases, medications like Ranolazine can be prescribed to help with the chest pain. The usual dosage for Ranolazine is 500mg to 1000mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
