I'm experiencing this weird vibration-like sensation in the upper left side of my chest that's been going on for a couple of days. Initially, I thought it was just acidity, but its been almost 45 days now. Any idea whats causing this and how I can fix it quickly?

View allI recently had a heart attack and my LVEF is only 26. The angiography shows 100% blockage in my LAD and 80% in another artery.

I'm really worried about my brother who is almost 37 years old. His blood cholesterol has shot up to 420 and occasionally he says his right side feels like it stops working. I'm really scared this might lead to some heart issues. Is that possible, and is there any way to bring his cholesterol levels down to normal? Could you share some insights on this?
A high cholesterol level of 420 does put your brother at a significantly increased risk for cardiovascular problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. It is important to take steps to lower this cholesterol level to reduce the risk of these serious health issues. To reduce cholesterol levels, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, regular exercise, and weight management are important. In addition to these lifestyle changes, medications may also be necessary to bring cholesterol levels down to a safer range. One commonly prescribed medication for high cholesterol is atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor). The usual starting dose for atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily, with the possibility of increasing the dose based on individual response. It is important to take this medication as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to follow up for monitoring of cholesterol levels. It is crucial for your brother to work closely with a healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan to lower his cholesterol level and reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. Regular monitoring and adjustments to the treatment plan may be necessary to achieve and maintain a healthy cholesterol level.

I'm 25 and I've been experiencing some strange symptoms after meals. My heart feels like it's racing, and my ears get really hot. When I checked my blood pressure, it was around 170100. Do you know what might be causing this and what steps I should take?
This could be a sign of uncontrolled hypertension. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
