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 experiencing this pinching pain in my heart area, and I'm really worried about it. Someone mentioned it could be musculoskeletal pain or maybe gastritis. Can you help me understand what musculoskeletal pain actually is and how it might relate to what's going on with me?
Musculoskeletal pain refers to pain that affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the body. It can be caused by various factors such as overuse, injury, poor posture, or muscle tension. To help relieve musculoskeletal pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream like Bengay or Icy Hot to the affected area can also provide relief. Stretching exercises, physical therapy, and heat or ice therapy may also be beneficial in managing musculoskeletal pain.

Is it normal to feel like my heart is pounding really hard when I'm exercising? It feels like my heart's just doing a crazy workout on its own, almost like I can hold it in my hand. When I checked, my heart rate was between 130-140 during a heavy workout. I'm 20 and I do have high cholesterol. I had an ECG and echo done back in May, and everything seemed okay. But when I'm resting, my heart rate drops to about 50 bpm and it doesn't feel heavy at all. It's only happening when I'm working out. Should I be worried and stop doing these intense exercises?
It is not uncommon to feel a heavy heartbeat during intense exercise, especially when your heart rate is elevated. Given your age and previous normal cardiac evaluations, it is less likely to be concerning. However, if you continue to experience discomfort or if the symptoms worsen, it may be advisable to modify your exercise routine. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose before exercise to help control your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a heavy heartbeat. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, focusing on aerobic exercises within your target heart rate zone and gradually increasing intensity may also help in reducing the sensation of a heavy heartbeat during exercise.

I've had a chest X-ray done and they tested the size of my heart wall. They said everything's okay with my heart, but I'm still wondering, is it normal to have the same weight of 65 kg for the past 2 years? Should I be concerned about anything despite the tests being clear?
