I'm a bit worried because my LDL is 145 and HDL is 50. It looks like my cholesterol levels are high. I don't really have any bad habits, don't eat a lot, and maintain a moderate weight. What's going on with my cholesterol?

View allI'm really worried after my mom's health check-up today. Her blood pressure was really hightwice it was 18090 and the third time was 17090. We're going to get the full health report by Wednesday, but I'm anxious. Do you think she might need to start taking medicine right away?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as lightheadedness, spinning sensation, and vomiting, could be related to various factors. Considering your recent changes in diet and daily workouts, here are a few potential causes: *Potential Causes* 1. *Low Blood Sugar*: With your new diet, you might be experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), leading to lightheadedness and dizziness. 2. *Dehydration*: Insufficient fluid intake, especially during workouts, can cause dehydration, resulting in dizziness and lightheadedness. 3. *Electrolyte Imbalance*: Your new diet might be lacking essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, or magnesium, which can disrupt your body's balance and cause dizziness. 4. *Inner Ear Issues*: The spinning sensation could be related to inner ear problems, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. *Monitor Blood Sugar*: If you're experiencing low blood sugar, consider monitoring your blood sugar levels and adjusting your diet accordingly. 3. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially during and after workouts. 4. *Balance Your Diet*: Ensure you're getting essential electrolytes and nutrients through your diet or consider supplements after consulting your doctor. 5. *Rest and Recovery*: Allow your body time to recover between workouts, and prioritize getting enough sleep.

I've got a pretty long medical history with congenital heart disease, two open-heart surgeries, and a pacemaker implanted because of atrial fibrillation. My thyroid levels are low, and I'm on medications like Cordarone and beta blockers. It's been rough over the last year with this intense pounding sensation over my nose and super high blood pressure that just won't get under control. I've tried all the check-ups I can think of. What could possibly be causing this uncontrollable high blood pressure, and what can I do about it?
Uncontrollable high blood pressure can be challenging to manage, especially with your complex medical history. Since you are already on Cordarone, a Beta Blocker, and thyroid medication, one option to consider adding is an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril. The recommended dosage for Lisinopril is usually starting at 10 mg once a day, which can be adjusted based on your blood pressure response. Additionally, a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide may also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and work closely with your healthcare provider to adjust your medications as needed.

I've been having this burning sensation in my left arm for the last four months. It happens even when Im just resting and not doing anything. It's accompanied by shoulder pain, mild chest pain sometimes, and other weird pains in my upper abdomen, neck, and jaw. Ive gone through a bunch of tests like ECG, Echo, 2D X-ray, and stress TMT, and they all came back normal. I've been told it's just anxiety or maybe cervical spondylosis, but Im super scared and can't shake off this feeling that its a heart problem. Do you think these symptoms could be related to some cardiac issue, or am I just overthinking?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and cervical spondylosis. The burning sensation in your left arm, shoulder pain, upper abdomen pain, muscle pains, neck pain, jaw pain, and mild chest pain could all be related to these conditions. Since your ECG, 2D echo, x-ray, and stress TMT results are normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac problem. To help with your symptoms, you can take medications like acetaminophen for pain relief and muscle relaxants for muscle pains. Additionally, you can use anti-anxiety medications like lorazepam to help with your anxiety symptoms. For cervical spondylosis, you can take medications like ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. It is important to also practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Physical therapy and neck exercises can also be beneficial for cervical spondylosis. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
