I'm getting kind of worried because I've been feeling pretty uncomfortable after eating for a few days now. There's this mild chest pain and a tight feeling around my chest area. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned or is it something normal that might go away on its own?

View allI'm wondering if there's any test that can confirm whether my bypass surgery was successful. Are there any scans or assessments I should consider to be sure everything's okay?
Yes, after a bypass surgery, a coronary angiogram can be done to assess the success of the procedure. This test involves injecting a special dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or abnormalities. Additionally, an echocardiogram can also be performed to evaluate the heart function and assess the blood flow. These tests can help determine if the bypass surgery was successful.

I'm a 37-year-old male with a height of 162 cm and a weight of 76 kg. I don't eat non-veg too often, maybe 5 to 6 times a month, and I keep my oil and fat intake pretty low. My job involves spending a lot of time at a desk, so I hardly get any exercise. I just got my cholesterol report, and it says my total cholesterol is 236, triglycerides are 258, HDL is 39, LDL is 153, and my non-HDL cholesterol is 197. The CHOLHDL ratio is 6.1 and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.9. It also showed very low-density lipoprotein at 51.6. My liver enzymes, AGT SGOT and ALTS GPT, are 25 and 49, respectively. My vitamin D level is quite low at 12.94. I'm a bit worried about all these numbers. What should I be doing next? Any advice would help.
Based on your report, your cholesterol levels are high and may require medication to lower them. In addition to medication, lifestyle changes are also important. Here is a recommended course of action for you: Cholesterol-lowering Medication: - I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 20 mg once daily to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels. Lifestyle Changes: - Increase your physical activity level by incorporating at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, most days of the week. - Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit saturated fats and cholesterol intake. - Consider increasing your consumption of omega-3 fatty acids by eating fatty fish like salmon or taking a fish oil supplement. - Aim to maintain a healthy weight by monitoring your calorie intake and portion sizes. - Get regular sunlight exposure or consider taking a Vitamin D supplement to improve your low Vitamin D levels. Follow-up: - It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your cholesterol levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Remember, these recommendations are based on the information provided, and individualized advice may vary.

I'm taking Navicard 5 mg regularly, as prescribed by my doctor. But recently, I've been having some mild chest pain, so I saw a cardiologist who prescribed Angizem CD 90 for my morning dose. He didnt mention anything about the Navicard though. Now I'm wondering, should I be taking both medications, or just one of them?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
