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 recently had an ECG done at the hospital, and the report mentioned "Normal sinus rhythm" and something about "minimal voltage criteria for LVH" and it being a "borderline ECG." I'm a bit confused and concerned about what this all means. Could you explain if there's anything I should be worried about with these results?

I've been having shoulder pain and pain in my left arm for a week now. It feels like indigestion with belching, and I'm getting really worried. Could this be related to my heart or is it just acidity? Please let me know what's going on, I'm feeling pretty tense about it.
It is important to rule out any cardiac issues, especially when experiencing shoulder pain and left arm pain. However, considering your symptoms of indigestion and belching, it is possible that this could be related to acidity as well. You may try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals for relief from acidity symptoms. Additionally, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg for pain relief in the shoulder and arm. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.

I'm dealing with rheumatic heart disease and usually use Penicillin LA12, but it's currently unavailable. My doctor suggested I take Pendids 400 instead. Are there any concerns with switching to this medication at the age of 30, or is it safe to use in place of Penidura LA12?
Penicillin G Benzathine (Penidura LA12) is commonly used for the treatment of Rheumatic Heart Diseases. Since it is currently out of stock, Penicillin V (Pendids 400) can be a suitable alternative. The recommended dosage for Pendids 400 is usually 400 mg taken orally every 6 hours. It is important to follow your doctor's prescription and guidance for the proper treatment of your condition.
