I'm experiencing some heart-related issues that are making me a bit anxious. Back in December 2019, I had a fast heartbeat and some pain on my left side, so I went to a cardio doctor in Patna. After running an ECG, he prescribed me clonozepam, etizola, and a beta blocker, which really helped at the time. But lately, I've been noticing this fluttering sensation in my heart, and it's making me wonder if it's something I should be worried about or if it's fine to just ignore it. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm feeling a tightness in my chest and it's like there's a squeezing sensation around my heart. My heart rate seems to be going really fast. I'm obese, about 5'4" and weigh 85 kg. My job is pretty sedentary because I'm at a desk all day, and I've had diabetes for about six months. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
"Chest tightness and squeezing sensation in the heart, along with a fast heartbeat, can be concerning symptoms, especially with a history of diabetes and obesity. These symptoms could indicate a heart problem and should be evaluated promptly. In this case, the individual may be experiencing a heart attack or angina. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. The individual may be prescribed medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help manage the symptoms and prevent further complications. The dosage and frequency of these medications will depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional."

I'm a little concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 234, triglycerides are 169, HDL cholesterol is 46.2, and non-HDL cholesterol is 193. I'm really wondering how risky these numbers are. Should I be thinking about taking medication, or could some lifestyle changes make a big difference?
Total cholesterol of 234 mgdL is slightly above the desirable level of less than 200 mgdL. Triglycerides of 169 mgdL are also slightly elevated, while HDL cholesterol of 46.2 mgdL is below the optimal level of 60 mgdL. Non-HDL cholesterol of 193 mgdL is also slightly elevated. These values indicate a moderate risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, lifestyle changes are recommended as the first step to improve your cholesterol levels. This includes following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient to bring your cholesterol levels to the desired range, medication may be considered. Statin medications such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (brand name Crestor) may be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. The dosage and specific medication will depend on your individual health profile and risk factors. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and working closely with your healthcare provider will help determine the most appropriate course of action for managing your cholesterol levels.
