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?

View allI'm really worried because my recent test showed high levels of homocysteine, about 10 points above the upper range. I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that might help with this. Can you offer any advice or suggestions?
High homocysteine means that your blood is thicker and because of smoke or smoking or because of dusty environment so stop smoking or else your blood will be thicker and you will have high chances of blockage in your blood vessels

I'm really worried about my dad. He doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack, but his cholesterol and triglyceride levels are pretty high. His total cholesterol is at 251 mgdl, triglycerides at 625 mgdl, HDL is 46 mgdl and LDL is 110 mgdl. Do you think lifestyle changes could help bring these numbers down, or should we be considering surgery like some people have suggested? I'm really unsure about what direction we should take.
With those cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lifestyle modifications are definitely the first step in managing the situation. Your dad should focus on a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin 20mg can be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. Surgery is usually considered only when lifestyle changes and medications are not effective in controlling cholesterol levels or if there are other significant risk factors present. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of his condition

My mom's been having trouble with her breathing for a bit now, and we recently got an echo test done. They said her heart is bigger than normal and kinda weak, functioning at about 25% of what it should be. She's 50, has high blood pressure, and is a bit diabetic. I'm really worried about her. Do you think this is something we can fix? How serious is it? Should I be really alarmed?
Yes it is alarming since the heart functioning is only 25.., u may require an echo for further management and a cardiac opinion.
