I've been having this sharp pain on the upper left side of my chest, and it tends to get worse when I move around, like when I stand up or go for a walk. Sometimes, I even feel it between my chest. Could this be costochondritis, and if it is, what kind of medicine would help? I'm just worried if everything's alright.

I'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?

Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.

I recently got my blood and urine tests done for insurance purposes, and the results are a bit concerning. The report says my ESR, which I believe stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is high. Plus, there's some abnormal protein showing up in my urine. I'm not quite sure what all this means. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to bring these readings back to normal?
