I'm a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?

Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.

View allI recently went through a medical test for my insurance, and they noted something called tachycardia. I'm a bit worried and curiousdoes this mean that tachycardia is actually present in my report? How do I confirm if it's really something to be concerned about?
Tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal. To confirm if tachycardia is present in your report, you can look for the heart rate measurement. If your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats per minute, then it is likely that tachycardia is present. If you have been diagnosed with tachycardia, medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) or Atenolol (25-100mg) may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm feeling this heavy sensation and pain in my chest, which makes it really hard to get through my daily routine. I've tried taking some medicine for it, but it doesnt seem to be helping. Sometimes the pain disappears, but then it comes back, and the heaviness has been there for about two days now. What should I do?
take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole

I'm feeling this fluttering sensation on the upper left side of my chest and it's like my breath stops for a moment. I've had an ECG and all that, and apparently, everything is normal. Do you think it could be acidity or something else?
