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?

I'm feeling a bit worried about this uneasy sensation in my chest that comes and goes. I know I tend to have hypertension, although my blood pressure is currently at 12878. I'm already on medication for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels, but my latest ECG showed something about sinus arrhythmia, even though it mentioned no significant abnormalities. Can you help me understand what this means and if there's something I should be doing?

You are experiencing chest discomfort and have a history of hypertension and high triglyceride levels. Your current blood pressure is 12878 and your ECG shows sinus arrhythmia with no significant abnormality. Considering your medical history, it is important to continue with your current medications for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels. In addition, to address the uneasy feeling in your chest, you can take a medication like Ranitidine (Zantac) 150mg twice daily before meals to help with any potential acid reflux or gastritis symptoms that may be causing your discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Should I consider getting a CT angiogram even though my ECG, ECHO, TMT, and chest X-ray have all come back normal? I'm experiencing some chest tightness and occasional shortness of breath, though its just for a moment. My cholesterol levels are a bit high, with LDL at 154 and HDL at 36. I weigh 108 kg, and my blood pressure is at 13075. My dad had bypass surgery back in 2018, so I'm wondering if having a CT angiogram is something I should look into given my symptoms and family history.

Considering your symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, high LDL cholesterol levels, and family history of bypass surgery in your father, it may be prudent to further investigate the possibility of coronary artery disease. A CT ANGIOGRAM can provide detailed imaging of the blood vessels in your heart and help assess for any blockages or narrowing that may not be detected by the tests you have already undergone. In your case, a CT ANGIOGRAM may be recommended to rule out any significant coronary artery disease.
