I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.

View allI'm really concerned about my blood work. Am I at risk for a cardiac arrest at any moment? My lipoprotein A is 53 mgdl, HS CRP is 4.3 mgL, total cholesterol is 222 mgdl, triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, and non-HDL cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl. My TSH is 6.93, and I also have hypertension. Are these numbers something to be really worried about?
Your Lipoprotein A level is 53mgdl, HS-CRP is 4.3mgL, Total Cholesterol is 222 mgdl, Triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL Cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, NON HDL Cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl, and TSH is 6.93. These values indicate a higher risk for cardiovascular issues. To manage your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiac events, I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, for hypertension, you can take Amlodipine 5mg once daily. It is important to follow up with regular check-ups and lifestyle modifications to improve your overall cardiovascular health."

I'm a bit concerned about my ECG report since it mentions "low voltage." Should I be worried about this? Can you explain what it means and if there's anything I need to do or watch out for?
ECG report showing low voltage can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to further evaluate the cause of low voltage. Your doctor may recommend a thorough physical examination, additional tests such as blood tests, echocardiogram, or stress test. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In some cases, medications like Furosemide or Spironolactone may be prescribed to help improve heart function. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for proper management
