I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

Can a 2D echo test spot blockages in the arteries? I've been told I should get one, and I'm wondering if it will actually help in detecting any issues with my heart. Just trying to figure out what exactly this test is going to show.

A 2D echo test, also known as an echocardiogram, primarily evaluates the structure and function of the heart. While it can provide valuable information about the heart's pumping function, valves, and chambers, it may not be the most effective test for detecting blockages in the arteries. To specifically assess blockages in the arteries, your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests such as a stress test, coronary angiography, or CT angiography. These tests are more specialized in detecting blockages in the arteries.

My dad doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack but his total cholesterol is 251 mg/dL, triglycerides are 625 mg/dL, HDL is 46 mg/dL, and LDL is 110 mg/dL. Can lifestyle changes alone help improve these levels or is surgery necessary like some people are suggesting?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit worried because I noticed that whenever taking Ecosprin 75mg, there's sometimes a bleeding problem. Could this be related to certain foods I'm eating? I used to take Colsprin 100mg, but it's discontinued now, and the same thing happened with ASA 50mg. Are there any alternatives you could recommend?
