I've been having this pain in my left arm since yesterday, and it's really concerning me. I took a myotop p painkiller last night, but instead of getting better, the pain actually got worse this morning. I'm quite worried about what might be causing this. What should I do?

Question

I've been experiencing a burning sensation across my chest, including the areas near my armpits on both sides. I'm worried it might be related to a heart issue. Could this be the case?

I'm really concerned about my cholesterol levels. I had really high LDL cholesterol at 293, but after taking medications like Rosuvastatin, changing my diet, and exercising more, my bad cholesterol has apparently gone down to normal. I'm wondering though, since high bad cholesterol is known for causing blockages in arteries, does it mean I'm in the clear now that my levels are normal? Or should I still be worried about any existing blockages?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother who is almost 37 years old. His blood cholesterol has shot up to 420 and occasionally he says his right side feels like it stops working. I'm really scared this might lead to some heart issues. Is that possible, and is there any way to bring his cholesterol levels down to normal? Could you share some insights on this?
