View allI'm a 41-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this chest pain on my left side along with some breathing issues for about 20 days now. I had an ECG and Stress Echo, and both came out normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this pain since it's been going on for so long. Can you recommend any medications or maybe some other tests that might help figure out what's going on? I'd really appreciate any guidance you can offer.

I'm worried about my health because my total cholesterol level is 162 mgdL. Could this mean I might have a blocked artery? I've been experiencing a lot of strange symptoms like pressure in my brain, shooting pains in my arms and legs, occasional chest pain, and muscle tremors. These pains start suddenly and go away after about a minute. What could be causing these symptoms?
Having a total cholesterol level of 162 mgdL is within the desirable range, which generally lowers the risk of artery blockage. However, cholesterol is just one risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and symptoms like brain pressure, shooting pains in arms and legs, chest pain, and muscle tremors should not be ignored. These symptoms can have various causes, including cardiovascular issues, neurological conditions, or even anxiety. It's important to consult your healthcare provider to thoroughly evaluate your symptoms and rule out serious conditions. They may recommend diagnostic tests such as an ECG, stress test, or imaging studies to assess your heart and arteries. Immediate medical attention is essential if you experience severe or persistent chest pain.

I'm a bit confused about my recent 2D echo test results. My LVEF was 60 last year, but now it's dropped to 56. The cardiologist said that's normal, but I'm doing intense exercise like jogging, so I would've thought it might increase. Should I be worried, or do you think I need any additional tests? I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 83 kg.
In your case, the decrease in LVEF from 60% to 56% may not necessarily be a cause for concern, especially if your cardiologist has deemed it normal. It's important to consider that LVEF can vary slightly between tests due to factors like hydration status, timing of the test, and even the technician performing the test. However, since you are engaging in intense exercise like jogging, it's good to monitor any changes in your heart function. To support your heart health while engaging in intense exercise, you can consider taking Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. CoQ10 can help improve heart function and provide antioxidant support. You can take CoQ10 at a dosage of 100-200mg per day. Additionally, it may be beneficial to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet or as a supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support overall heart health. Aim for a daily dosage of 1000-2000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. Remember to stay hydrated during your exercise routine and listen to your body for any signs of overexertion. If you experience any concerning symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, consult with your cardiologist for further evaluation.
