I've recently had my cholesterol tested, and it turns out my HDL cholesterol level is 32. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should go for any additional tests? Does this low HDL indicate any risk of heart disease?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A low HDL cholesterol level of 32 may increase your risk for heart disease. To further evaluate your heart health, you may consider getting a lipid profile test done. This test will provide more detailed information about your cholesterol levels, including LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Based on the results of the lipid profile, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and medication if necessary.

View allI'm sitting here with a blood pressure of around 130100. Should I go for a walk, or is it better if I just rest for now since it might go up when I'm active? I'm not sure what's the best thing to do in this situation.
It is generally safe to go for a walk with a blood pressure of 130100. Physical activity can actually help lower blood pressure. However, it is important to start with a gentle walk and monitor how you feel. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, stop and rest. If you are on medication for high blood pressure, make sure to take it as prescribed

I've been noticing something a bit unsettling recently, like my heart seems to be beating really hard, especially when I'm just lying down or relaxing. My resting heart rate is around 94bpm, which seems a bit high to me? Also, I can feel this strong pulse over my suprasternal notch and some weird tingling vibrations on the right side of my sternum near the carotid. Its almost like a sensation of anxiety, but I dont feel anxious at all. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on?
An ecg,cardiac markers and echo is advised to the patient, if reports are normal, advised a psychiatric opinion for anxiety..
