I'm experiencing some chest heaviness and a bit of pain, and it's making it harder to catch my breath at times. I've been smoking about 10 to 12 cigarettes a day. Should I be concerned about this, and what could be causing these symptoms?

View allI'm 27 and just found out I have high cholesterol. My LDL was 190, HDL was 40, total cholesterol hit 280, and triglycerides were at 90. My B12 levels were at 80. The doctor had me on Crestor 20 mg for a few months, which got my LDL back to normal, but it messed with my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I switched to Prelipid and my cholesterol levels stabilized, but I've been having muscle pain and anxiety with it. Also, my family's got a history of high cholesterol. I've been playing lawn tennis regularly for the past few years and I really dont love the idea of staying on medication forever. Once I stop taking them, my cholesterol spikes again. Is there any way I can manage my cholesterol without being on meds for life? Would really appreciate some advice on if these medications are a must or if there's something else I can try!
u have to continue with tab crestor 20 mg at bedtime continuosly ,and recheck the lipid panel once in 3 months, better to continue with the medications.Regular aerobic exercises, protein diet is advised.Alcholol and smoking cessation is needed.Also use of butter and ghee is not advised

I've been experiencing a pricking pain on the top left side of my chest and some slight breathing difficulties, especially when I talk. Plus, I've noticed an extra heartbeat occasionally. My GP suggested an ECG, and I'm wondering if there's anything serious going on here. About three months ago, I had a similar issue but my tests like an echo came back normal. Should I be concerned or take any further action?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and some chest discomfort. Since your ECG, VOLT, and echo results are normal, it is good news that there are no major underlying issues. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) 400mg as needed for any chest discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your GP for further evaluation and management.

When I lie down and then get up to walk, I experience a heavy feeling or difficulty in breathing for about 2 to 3 minutes. I also notice a heaviness in my upper abdomen during this time. After those few minutes, I feel normal again. I've had an X-ray, CT scan, ECG, and a 2D echo, and all the results came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or am I just overthinking it?
because of weakness , do blood tests CBC ESR
