I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

I'm really concerned about my recent hscrp test results, which came back at 45. Alongside that, my total cholesterol is 235. What should I be doing about this?

I recommend you start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider taking Aspirin 81mg daily to reduce inflammation. It's also important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise to improve your overall cardiovascular health."
