I just got my ECG results back from a health check-up, and it's showing a Left Axis Deviation. I've never had any BP problems, and my blood pressure during the exam was 13080. What could be causing the Left Axis Deviation? Should I be worried about it?

View allI'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?
Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?
MRI of the left arm and ortho opinion is advised

I'm not diabetic, but I've noticed my cholesterol levels seem a bit off. My LDL is at 119, HDL is 36, VLDL is 58, triglycerides are 288, and my total cholesterol is 212. The total cholesterol to HDL ratio is 6.06, and the LDL to HDL ratio is 3.41. Could you suggest some ways to boost my HDL and bring down my VLDL and triglyceride levels? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate any advice you have.
To increase HDL and lower VLDL and triglycerides, consider the following lifestyle changes and dietary modifications: exercise regularly (aim for 150 minutesweek of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise); lose weight if overweight; quit smoking; reduce saturated and trans fats intake; increase omega-3 fatty acids (found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts); consume more soluble fiber (found in oats, barley, fruits, and vegetables); and limit dietary cholesterol and added sugars;
