My mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having this sharp, burning chest pain for about a week now. It seems to get a bit better when I change positions or drink water, but it's really bothering me. The pain is right where my heart is. Do you think this could be something serious, or is it something I can manage on my own? What might be causing this?

I've been having these short period chest pains for about 6 months now, and honestly, it's freaking me out a bit. I got my ECG and Doppler tests done, and they came back normal. I'm also taking esoz d every morning for gastric issues. But, the chest pains still show up sometimes, and I can't help but worry about them being signs of a heart attack. What do you think is going on here? Any guidance would really help.

I've noticed some changes in my recent lab results, and I'm a bit worried. My triglycerides have gone up from 374 in December to 470 mgdl now. My HDL improved from 31 to 42 mgdl, but my LDL dropped from 153 to 78 mgdl and my VLDL jumped from 34 to 94 mgdl. I haven't taken any medicine, just changed my diet and stopped eating out. Should I see a cardiologist or just a regular physician?

You should first cut down on oils, butter and fried foods. Daily brisk walk for at least 30mins
