I've been taking aspirin every day since I had angioplasty, but I'm concerned about the possibility of being allergic to it. How can I tell if I'm having an allergic reaction to aspirin?

View allI'm concerned because I've noticed my triglycerides are really high at 603, but my total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL are in the normal range. I'm a bit worried about this and I'm wondering what medication I should consider taking for the high triglycerides. Also, my heart rate is always above 100, sometimes reaching 116. Could the high triglycerides be causing my heart rate to be so high?
High triglyceride levels, like a reading of 603 mgdL, significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions and pancreatitis. While high triglycerides themselves typically do not cause an elevated heart rate, they can indicate underlying metabolic issues that might contribute to overall cardiovascular stress. It's essential to address these elevated levels promptly. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as fibrates (e.g., fenofibrate), omega-3 fatty acids, or statins to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes are crucial, including adopting a low-fat, low-sugar diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake. Given your elevated heart rate (100-116 bpm), it's also important to have this evaluated, as it could be related to various factors such as anxiety, thyroid issues, or other underlying conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I'm looking at my ECG report, and it mentions "ST-segment elevation anterior borderline." I'm not really sure what that means. Should I be worried about this? Can you explain what's going on?
The ECG report showing ST-segment elevation (anterior) indicates a potential issue with the heart's blood supply. This could be a sign of a heart attack or other cardiac problem. It is important to seek medical attention immediately for further evaluation and treatment. In such cases, medications like aspirin, nitroglycerin, and clopidogrel may be prescribed to help improve blood flow to the heart.
