I've been feeling this burning sensation in my breast, mostly on the left side, and it even goes into my back sometimes. It occasionally spreads down my leg too. Should I be worried about this or is it something common?

Question

I'm a 32-year-old who got over Covid about a month ago, and I just got some test results back. Most things look okay, but I'm a bit concerned about my lipid profile. Here's what it says: Total cholesterol is 184, triglycerides are at 286, HDL cholesterol is 38, LDL is 88.8, and VLDL is 57.2. My CRP is 4.5, platelets are 152, D-dimer is 0.34, and ferritin is 113. Should I be worried about these numbers, and do I need to start any meds?

Question

I've been having chest pain for 13 days now, and I'm really starting to get worried. My sugar levels are normal when fasting, and all my reports like ECG, lipid profile, and an echo have come back normal too. But the pain just won't go away. Should I be concerned, or is there something else I should be checking for?
