I'm a footballer and have been experiencing mild pain in my chest and back occasionally. All tests including ECG and echo came back normal when they were done in July, but the pain hasn't really stopped and sticks around for a while. Should I consider repeating these tests? How regularly do they need to be done for someone with my level of physical activity?

Since you are experiencing mild pain in your chest and back, especially during physical activity as a footballer, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Considering your active lifestyle, it is recommended to repeat the ECG and echo tests annually to ensure there are no changes in your heart function. This regular monitoring will help in early detection of any potential issues and ensure your heart is healthy enough to support your extensive training.

At your age of 57 with a blood pressure of 165108, in addition to amlodipine 5mg, I would recommend adding a medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help further control your blood pressure.

I'm 32 and just found out my triglycerides are at 360. Should I be taking meds to bring it down, or is there a natural way to manage this? Really need some guidance here.
For your triglyceride level of 360, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes first to try and lower it naturally. This includes maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. However, if these measures are not enough to lower your triglycerides, medication may be necessary. You can consider using Atorvastatin 10mg once daily to help lower your triglyceride levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
