I'm feeling some discomfort in a few spots on both sides of my chest. My HDL cholesterol is low, and I recently had a mildly positive TMT test. What do you think could be going on, and is there anything I should do?

It's been going on for about a week and seems to have gotten slightly worse. I'm a bit worried because visiting hospitals seems risky right now with all the COVID outbreaks. Do you have any idea what might be happening to me?

The cost of bypass surgery at SMS Hospital in Jaipur typically ranges from ‚Çπ2,50,000 to ‚Çπ4,00,000, according to SMC Insurance. It's advisable to contact the hospital directly to confirm the exact cost, as it can vary based on individual patient needs and the specific procedures involved.

I've been having headaches and palpitations at the same time for years, but my ECG always comes back normal, so I didn't see any point in getting more tests like a 2D echo. Lately, these issues have gotten worse, and it sometimes feels like my heart's being crushed. The only thing that helps is coughing. I've also noticed my feet are swelling. My blood work shows high cholesterol and SGPT levelswhat does that mean?
These symptoms could be indicative of underlying heart and liver issues. The high total cholesterol levels suggest a risk of cardiovascular disease, which may be contributing to your palpitations and chest discomfort. The elevated SGPT levels indicate potential liver damage or inflammation. For your condition, you can start taking medications like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) for high cholesterol, and Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) for palpitations. Additionally, you may benefit from a diuretic like Furosemide (brand name Lasix) to help with the swelling in your feet. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
