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?

View allI just got my health check-up results and I'm a bit concerned. My cholesterol levels came back higher than expected. Here are the details: Total Cholesterol is 254, Triglycerides 240, LDL 209, and HDL is 31.36. What should I do about this? I'm pretty worried.
Based on your health checkup results, your cholesterol levels are indeed high. To help lower your cholesterol levels, I recommend making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, you may benefit from taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels. It's important to continue monitoring your cholesterol levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance

I'm feeling a bit concerned. I had an angioplasty with a stent placed and went for a follow-up after 7 days like the doctor suggested. But now I'm feeling this weird pricking sensation and some discomfort. Is that kind of pricking feeling normal after you get a stent placed?
yes .

I've been feeling this heavy sensation in my head for the past few days, and while my blood pressure was normal before, recently it's been at 126 over 80. I'm curious, does the heavy feeling in my head mean my blood pressure is actually shooting up past 140 over 90 during those times? When I visited my doctor, my pressure was 126 over 80 and I didn't have that heavy feeling at that moment.
The feeling of heaviness in your head may not necessarily correlate with your blood pressure being above 14090. It is possible to experience symptoms like a heavy head even with a blood pressure reading of 12680. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache relief. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, practice relaxation techniques, and get an adequate amount of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
