I'm 24 and I spend a lot of time sitting because of my job. My pulse rate seems to bounce between 92 and 110. Is it normal for it to be that high at my age? I'm a bit worried if it's something I should be concerned about.

View allI've got some concerns about my recent lipid profile results. My LDL cholesterol came back at 135.8 mgdl and my total cholesterol is 209.1 mgdl. Should I be worried that this indicates a serious health problem? If it's something to be concerned about, what steps can I take to address it?
Having LDL cholesterol levels above 130 mgdl and total cholesterol levels above 200 mgdl can increase your risk of heart disease. To manage your cholesterol levels, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. One common medication used to lower LDL cholesterol is Atorvastatin, which is usually prescribed at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily. It is important to take the medication as prescribed and follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your cholesterol levels.

I'm a bit worried because my blood pressure has been high for a few days now. Even after taking two BP tablets, it hasn't returned to normal. Plus, I also have thyroid issues. What could be happening, and should I be doing something else?

I've been experiencing some weird noises coming from my chest and stomach, kind of like gurgling sounds. It started happening a lot, then stopped for about a month, but now it's back again. I'm confused if it's related to gas or something else. I've checked my pulse when it happens, and sometimes it pauses, but I'm not sure if I'm just not focusing enough because of the noise. It kind of feels like when your stomach growls from hunger, but it's happening in my chest. I've had PVCs with bigeminy and couplets, and once there was sinus tachycardia. I used to take beta blockers for anxiety, but I stopped at some point. Do you think this gurgling is related to my heart somehow? I also had acid reflux issues about two years ago, if that's relevant. My throat makes noises too. Is this something to worry about?
cardiologist opinion.
