I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward.

My mother's cholesterol level is really high at 403 mgdL, and her serum triglycerides are at 178 mgdL. What's strange is that she doesn't have any symptoms you'd usually expect with high cholesterol, like chest pain or nausea. Could you take a look at her lipid profile report and let me know what you think? I'm really worried because it doesn't add up.

Since she is not experiencing any symptoms of high cholesterol like chest pain or nausea, she may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to manage her cholesterol levels to prevent future health issues. I recommend starting her on a statin medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a low dose of 10mg daily. Additionally, she can take Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to help lower triglyceride levels. It is also important for her to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise. Regular monitoring of her lipid profile is essential to track progress.

Are there any medications that could fix this problem for good, so he can stop feeling so awful?

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain for about a month now. There hasn't been any coughing, fever, or cold symptoms, but the pain is located near my left breast. Occasionally, I also feel pain in my left arm and shoulders. Sometimes I struggle to breathe normally, and it often feels like something's stuck in my throat. What's going on with me?
