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?

I've been feeling this odd sensation when I'm sitting down, like there's a push and pull throughout my body matched with my heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest. Both my echo and TMT came back normal, so I'm kind of confused about what's going on. What might be causing this, and what type of doctor should I talk to about it?

I'm looking over my cholesterol results and I'm trying to figure out what they mean. My total cholesterol is 198mg, triglycerides are at 236mg, HDL cholesterol is 40mg, non-HDL cholesterol is 158mg, and my LDL cholesterol is 130mg. Plus, the atherosclerosis index is 5. Does this report look alright, or is there something off? If there's a problem, should I be thinking about medication?
Based on these values, your cholesterol levels are not optimal. To improve your cholesterol levels, you can make lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient, medication may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. In your case, considering your lipid profile, a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) may be recommended. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20mg once daily. However, the specific medication and dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.
