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?

View allI've just got my test results and it says my triglycerides are at 186 mgdL. I'm a bit worried about whether this is within the normal range or not. Also, the report shows my LDL is 99.80. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health?
based on your triglyceride level of 186 mgdl, it is considered borderline high. The normal range for triglycerides is typically less than 150 mgdl.

Can I still have a heart rate of 125 and it be normal? I just recovered from being ill for two months and I'm feeling really weak. Should I be concerned about this or is it just part of my recovery?
A heart rate of 125 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if it persists at this level, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-100mg to help lower your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and gradually increase your activity level as you continue to recover from your illness.
