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've been feeling pretty anxious about my heart health lately. A while back, I did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray twice, and a TMT, and it was like 8 months ago. My BP is usually around 150, and my LDL is 138. I got a blood test, and it was normal. I'm on the heavier side but don't smoke or drink and there's no family history of heart issues. Still, I get these short, sharp pains in my left chest, like they disappear in seconds, and sometimes there's this bubbling or vibrating sensation there too. Plus, there are moments when my left chest and bicep feel like they're pounding, just for a few seconds. Recently, when I'm walking, it feels like I'm wobbling or floating, and my legs and hands feel lighter. The doctor said not to worry and just keep my BP and LDL in check, but I'm still worried. What should I do?
"Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to focus on controlling your blood pressure and LDL levels to reduce the risk of heart issues. In addition to lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet, you may benefit from medication to manage your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting a medication like Atorvastatin (10mg) to lower your LDL levels and Amlodipine (5mg) to help control your blood pressure. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow up regularly for monitoring and adjustments if needed."

I'm currently taking Tazloc AM for my high blood pressure, but it still isn't in the normal range. I'm concerned and wondering what could be causing this. Could there be something I'm missing or should I be trying something else? It's a bit worrying since I expected the medication to help more.

Consult a pediatric ophthalmologist or optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam.

I'm dealing with high cholesterol and recently I've felt some pain in my left chest. I'm pretty worried about what this might mean. Should I be doing something specific or is there anything you recommend I look into?
It is important to manage your high cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart-related issues. You can start by taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, if you are experiencing chest pain, you can take Aspirin at a dosage of 81mg daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. However, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe or persistent chest pain.
