I'm feeling worried because I've been having arm pain alongside chest pain. I've already had an EKG, some blood work, and an X-ray, and all the results were normal except the EKG, which showed some abnormalities. What might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given your symptoms of arm and chest pain, and abnormal EKG results despite normal blood work and X-ray, possible causes could include: musculoskeletal strain, costochondritis, pericarditis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, the abnormal EKG result warrants further evaluation, so consider consulting a cardiologist to rule out underlying cardiac conditions, such as myocardial bridging, coronary artery spasms, or cardiac syndrome X.

View allI've just got my test results and it says my triglycerides are at 186 mgdL. I'm a bit worried about whether this is within the normal range or not. Also, the report shows my LDL is 99.80. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health?
based on your triglyceride level of 186 mgdl, it is considered borderline high. The normal range for triglycerides is typically less than 150 mgdl. As for your LDL level of 99.80, it is within the optimal range. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 10mg once daily. It is important to also follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to manage your lipid levels effectively.

I'm a bit worried because my blood pressure is at 14289. I'm not really keen on starting medication right away if I can help it. Do you think changing my lifestyle could bring it down, or should I seriously consider taking medication? Any advice would be great.
For a blood pressure reading of 14289, it is slightly elevated and falls within the prehypertension range. Lifestyle changes can definitely help in lowering your blood pressure. You can start by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, reducing sodium intake, eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing stress. However, if lifestyle changes alone are not enough to lower your blood pressure, medication may be necessary. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific situation.
