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've been having sweating and breathlessness when going up the stairs, and there's some numbness in my palm along with a light pain in my chest. I talked to a cardiologist who's pretty experienced, and after checking out my echo report, they've suggested I get an angiography. I'm really unsure about whether I should go through with it. Could you give me some advice on this? I would really appreciate a quick response.
Based on your symptoms and the recommendation of your cardiologist, undergoing angiography would be important to assess the condition of your heart vessels. This procedure can provide detailed information about any blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying your heart. It will help in determining the best course of treatment for your condition. Please follow your cardiologist's advice and proceed with the angiography as recommended.

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?
MRI of the left arm and ortho opinion is advised

I'm a bit confused about my liver function test results. My total cholesterol is at 230, and I've gotten different opinions from doctors. Some suggest medication, while others say it's nothing to worry about. Should I be concerned about this level? When exactly should I start taking action or medication?
A total cholesterol level of 230 is considered borderline high, which means you're at risk of developing heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a total cholesterol level below 200 milligrams per deciliter (mgdL). Here are some conditions where you should take care: Liver-Related Conditions - Fatty Liver Disease: Excess fat accumulation in liver cells can disrupt liver function and increase cholesterol levels. - Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): A more severe form of fatty liver disease characterized by inflammation and scarring. - Cirrhosis: Late-stage liver disease where liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, affecting cholesterol metabolism [1). Lifestyle Changes To manage your cholesterol levels: - Exercise Regularly: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly. - Follow a Healthy Diet: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources. - Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol [1).
