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 a 2D echo and ECG done on the 5th of Jan and they came out normal. Now I'm having neck and shoulder pain and I'm worried. Could this be a sign of a stroke? I'm a patient who had an ASD device closure.
Neck and shoulder pain can have various causes and may not necessarily be a sign of a stroke. However, given your medical history as an ASD device closure patient, it is important to monitor any new symptoms closely. To address your neck and shoulder pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the affected area and practice gentle neck and shoulder stretches. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my mom. During her regular health checkup, they said she has a mildly positive TMT for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a max METS level of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 to a max of 164. Her blood pressure changed from 12078 to a max of 15090. They also found she has dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol of 216, HDL at 71, and LDL at 132. They advised her to take atorva and Ecospirin and to repeat the TMT after 6 months. I'm curious, is this something really serious? And does the medication usually help? Whats the next line of action after this?
