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'm experiencing some issues and I'm really worried. Whenever I masturbate during the day, my heart starts pounding really loudly afterwards. And then at night, I feel this burning sensation in my chest and it's so hard to breathe. It's okay during the day but when night comes, it feels really difficult to breathe. I just want to feel healthy and I'm scared something might be really wrong. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal T wave, and now they've told me to see a cardiologist. I'm not sure how serious this is. Should I be worried, and what should my next steps be?
In ECG, an abnormal T wave can indicate various heart conditions. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as beta-blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management are also important. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?
