I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They've been at 219 and 342 respectively, for the last 6 months. I don't have any other medical issues. Do you think I need to start taking medication for this? I'm really unsure and would appreciate your advice.
Your cholesterol level of 219 and triglyceride level of 342 are elevated, indicating a risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting on a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 20mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg daily to specifically target your triglyceride levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I've been trying to get my hands on the medicine Cetanil T 20 that was prescribed to me, but I've had no luck because of the lockdown. I'm wondering if it's alright to take Telmikind 40, which is Telmisartan 40 mg, and Cilacar 20, which is Cilnidipine 20 mg, instead. Is this a safe alternative? Should I be careful about anything when taking these meds?
