I've been having this sudden chest pain in the upper center part of my chest. It happens when I take a deep breath, move my hand, or lift something heavy. It's starting to worry me. What could be causing this pain?

View allI'm really concerned about my triglyceride levels, which are over 700 mgdL. Could you advise me on what foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, do you know what kind of medication I should consider?
For high triglyceride levels, it is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. You should focus on consuming foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts, can help lower triglyceride levels. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit intake of sugary foods and beverages, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and saturated fats (found in red meat, butter, cheese). It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. As for medication, your doctor may prescribe statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. They may also consider prescribing fibrates such as Fenofibrate or Omega-3 fatty acid supplements to help manage your triglycerides. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make the necessary lifestyle changes to improve your triglyceride levels.

I'm really worried about my dad's high blood pressure. We've tried consulting multiple doctors, but nothing seems to be helping. Is there anything specific we might be missing or any new treatment options we should consider?
High blood pressure that is difficult to control can be challenging. Your dad may benefit from a combination of medications to help manage his blood pressure. One common combination that doctors prescribe is amlodipine (5mg) along with losartan (50mg) taken once daily. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to help improve his condition.

my cardiologist said my ekg showed a borderline ecg when i went for bariatric surgery clearance - what does that actually mean and is it something to worry about
A "borderline ECG" means that the results are not entirely normal but also not clearly abnormal. It may reflect minor, nonspecific changes that aren’t necessarily serious. In the context of surgery clearance, your cardiologist likely didn’t find anything concerning enough to delay the procedure but may want to monitor your heart health. It’s best to follow up if you develop symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
