View allI've been having these episodes where my heart rate goes all over the place, and I keep feeling chest pain and discomfort throughout the day. I have my Holter monitor report with me, and I'm not really sure what it means. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
Fluctuating heart rate and recurrent chest pain can be concerning, and reviewing your Holter monitor report with a healthcare provider is essential for proper diagnosis. The Holter monitor will provide detailed information about your heart's activity over 24-48 hours, capturing any irregularities or arrhythmias that might explain your symptoms. If the Holter report shows any abnormalities, your doctor may recommend further evaluation or treatment. If the report is normal, your symptoms might be related to other conditions such as anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, or musculoskeletal problems. Please ensure you discuss the Holter report findings with your cardiologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on your specific condition.

I've had borderline high cholesterol for about a year now. My doctor is suggesting I start on medication, but I'm thinking maybe I could hold off for another month or two and try to make some more lifestyle changes. Is it okay to wait a bit longer before starting meds? And if I do start taking statins, is it possible to stop them later if my cholesterol levels improve?
Statins are medications commonly used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding starting or stopping statins. However, if you want to delay starting statins and focus on lifestyle changes first, you can discuss this with your doctor. Once you start taking statins, it is generally recommended to continue them as prescribed by your doctor. However, in some cases, with close monitoring and under the guidance of your healthcare provider, it may be possible to stop statin therapy. It is important to not stop statins abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can have negative effects on your cholesterol levels and overall health. If you have concerns about starting statins or want to explore other options, it is best to have a discussion with your doctor to create a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs and preferences.

I'm having chest pain for the past two years and have already done tests like HLA B27 by PCR, ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and a CT Coronary Angiography. All the results have come back normal, but I'm still dealing with this left-sided chest pain. My recent blood tests show HS CRP is 9.7, Lipoprotein A is 35.09, SGOT is 70.9, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. Now my doctor wants me to do a 2D Echo with a GLS test. What do you think is going on? Is there something specific my doctor might be looking for with this new test?
