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?

Question

I'm a bit worried after reading my 2D echo report. It mentions mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension with PASP by TR jet measuring 38 mmHg. Does this mean I definitely have pulmonary hypertension? And should I be concerned about it getting worse over time, like becoming moderate or even severe?

Question

Chest pain on the left side has been bothering me on and off for the past week. I'm dealing with a lot of work stress and only getting around 6 hours of sleep a night. My evening meal times are all over the place too. I'm not having any issues with breathing or moving around, but I can't help but wonder what's causing this discomfort. Could you tell me what might be going on and if I need to get any tests or X-rays done?

Question

I'm on Crestor 40mg and Ezetrol 10mg for my cholesterol, and here's what my latest results show: Total Cholesterol is 4.25, LDL is 2.5, HDL is 0.93, and Triglyceride is 1.82, all in mmol unit. Lately, I've been feeling really fatigued and I suspect it might be muscle pain or tiredness from the statins. I've lost some focus too. I'm thinking of reducing my statin dosage. Could you give me some advice on what to do about this?
