Question 1

I'm 24 and I spend a lot of time sitting because of my job. My pulse rate seems to bounce between 92 and 110. Is it normal for it to be that high at my age? I'm a bit worried if it's something I should be concerned about.

Question 2

I'm really puzzled because my ECG and echo results came back normal according to the doctor, but I'm still experiencing chest pain and sometimes pain in my left hand. I've attached my ECG report here. What might be causing these symptoms if all the tests show nothing wrong?

Question 3

I've been trying to understand my recent lipid profile test results and I'm a bit confused. My triglycerides are at 192, which seems high to me. I'm vegetarian and steer clear of fast and fried foods, so I'm not sure why my triglycerides would be elevated. I exercise every day and my weight is around 70 kg with a height of 5'6". I've been taking whey protein for the past two monthscould that be causing the increase in my triglycerides? I've stopped using whey last week and am currently on Ecosprin Av 7520 for the past two days. How can I best lower my triglycerides and boost my HDL levels? Would adding omega-3 to my diet be a good idea? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Accepted Answer

Triglyceride level of 192 mgdL is slightly above the normal range (normal range is less than 150 mgdL), but it is controllable. It's good that you are already taking steps to address this issue. Whey protein can sometimes lead to increased triglyceride levels in some individuals, so stopping its intake was a good decision. To lower triglycerides and increase HDL, you can consider adding Omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements or fatty fish like salmon, have been shown to help lower triglyceride levels and improve HDL cholesterol. You can try brands like Lovaza or Vascepa, with a dosage of around 1-4 grams per day, as recommended by your healthcare provider. In addition to Omega-3 supplements, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, along with regular exercise, can also help improve your lipid profile. It's important to continue monitoring your levels and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?
