I'm feeling this weird pain in the center of my chest whenever I breathe deeply or move suddenly. It's been happening since this evening and while it goes away for a bit, it keeps coming back. I'm trying to figure out if this might just be from a cold or if it's more like an infection. Who should I be talking to about this? What kind of doctor would handle something like this?

I'm really confused about my cholesterol levels. I just found out they're very high, even though I'm pretty active and do heavy workouts every day. I'm 76 kg and 173 cm tall. I thought exercising regularly would help, but my cholesterol still isn't going down. Can someone explain why this might be happening or what I should consider doing next?

In addition to exercise, it's important to focus on your diet and possibly consider medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. I recommend you start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. This medication will help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Remember to continue your exercise routine and follow a healthy diet to further improve your cholesterol levels.
