I've been having pain in the middle of my chest around the breastbone or sternum for a few weeks now. It comes and goes but seems to be getting more painful. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?

Pulsating veins near the ear can be concerning, and it's important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for any discomfort. If the pulsating continues or worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a 32-year-old who got over Covid about a month ago, and I just got some test results back. Most things look okay, but I'm a bit concerned about my lipid profile. Here's what it says: Total cholesterol is 184, triglycerides are at 286, HDL cholesterol is 38, LDL is 88.8, and VLDL is 57.2. My CRP is 4.5, platelets are 152, D-dimer is 0.34, and ferritin is 113. Should I be worried about these numbers, and do I need to start any meds?
Based on your lipid profile results, it appears that your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your lipid profile. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations.
