I'm having some discomfort in my chest when I masturbate, especially in the middle and left side. It doesn't hurt a lot, just a little, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it might be because I was overweight, so I lost some weight and now I'm down to 67 kg, but the pain is still there. I even tried stopping for a month, thinking it was because I was doing it too often, like 3-4 times a week, but the pain came back when I started again. I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to my friends or family about this, but is there something else that could be causing it?

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 226, HDL is 51, and LDL is 172. Do you think there's a risk with these numbers? Should I be considering any medication?

Total cholesterol level of 226 with HDL of 51 and LDL of 172 indicates a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. It is important to manage these levels to reduce the risk. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are important. In addition, medication may be required to lower cholesterol levels. I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin at a dose of 20mg daily to help lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?
