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.

I'm worried because my blood pressure has been 14090 for the past 20 days, and I've started having mild chest pain. I've done all the heart-related tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be taking blood pressure medicine? My doctor hasn't prescribed anything for it yet, but I'm thinking maybe I should start at least for a few days. I weigh 110 kg, and my doctor only put me on cholesterol medication since my cholesterol is high. What do you think about starting bp medicine?
Your blood pressure reading of 14090 mmHg falls into the category of Stage 1 Hypertension according to most guidelines Since your heart-related tests (ECG, ECHO, TMT) are normal, and your doctor has not prescribed blood pressure (BP) medication, they may believe that your condition can initially be managed with lifestyle changes and monitoring. However, your weight (110 kg) and high cholesterol are additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and managing your blood pressure is crucial.

I've been having some pain in my left arm and jaw, along with a toothache and feeling weak, but there's no chest pain. Could these be signs of a heart attack? I'm kind of worried and would like to understand what this might mean.
exactly not that
