Question

I've been having this weird pain, like in my heart and behind it, and it's been slowly moving to my shoulder. Now my mouth is super dry and I'm even feeling some pain near the top part of my left arm, right above my heart. What could this mean? Should I be worried about these symptoms?

Question

I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?

Question

I've been tracking my triglycerides, and they were around 260. Lately, I've started doing a brisk walk every day for about 1.5 hours, just following what my doctor suggested. After about 20 days, my triglycerides dropped to 156. Is it normal for them to fall that much, or should I think about getting retested? Also, I'm curious whether high lipid profiles from before can get stuck in the arteries, or do they clear out once the levels go down?
