I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?

Can extreme fear and stress lead to a heart attack or cardiac arrest in someone under 25, even if they don't have a history of heart problems? I'm really curious because I've been feeling super overwhelmed lately and it worries me.

Extreme fear and stress can trigger a condition known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also called "broken heart syndrome," which mimics symptoms of a heart attack. In young people below 25, the risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest due to extreme fear and stress is very low. However, it is important to manage stress and anxiety to maintain overall heart health

I've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.

"Based on your lab results, your Total Cholesterol level is 189 mgdl and Triglycerides level is 249 mgdl, which are both elevated. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition to lifestyle changes, you can also consider medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider, such as a cardiologist or a general physician, who can prescribe you a medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a suitable dosage to help manage your cholesterol levels. Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider will be important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also essential to continue monitoring your lipid profile regularly to track your improvement. Remember, these are just general recommendations based on the information provided. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment."

I've been dealing with some annoying symptoms lately like this slight headache, stiff muscles around my neck, facial pain, and just feeling really tired all the time. I started taking some meds initially like amchek 5mg, then switched to amlong 5, and now I'm on omlesar 10 with nebicard 2.5mg. But for a few weeks, I stopped them, and yesterday my blood pressure shot up to 190138. So I got back on just omlesar, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 180104. What should I do?

It seems like you are experiencing high blood pressure despite restarting omlesar. In this case, you may benefit from adding another medication to better control your blood pressure. I recommend adding a diuretic such as Lasix (furosemide) 40mg to help reduce the fluid in your body and lower your blood pressure. Please consult your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and prescription of this medication. Additionally, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a low-sodium diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help manage your blood pressure.
