I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

View allI'm trying to figure out what natural ingredients I should include in my daily diet to help control my high cholesterol. My lipid profile isn't looking great, and I'm currently on 10 mg of Zivast. I've also started exercising and making changes to my diet. What can I do diet-wise to improve my situation?
To help control your high cholesterol naturally, in addition to taking Zivast (atorvastatin) 10 mg and exercising, you can include several beneficial ingredients in your daily diet. These include: 1. Soluble Fiber: Found in oats, barley, beans, lentils, fruits (such as apples, pears, and berries), and vegetables. Soluble fiber helps reduce the absorption of cholesterol in your bloodstream. 2. Healthy Fats: Include sources of unsaturated fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Replace saturated fats found in red meat and full-fat dairy with these healthier options. 3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as in flaxseeds and chia seeds. Omega-3s can help lower triglycerides and improve heart health. 4. Plant Sterols and Stanols: Naturally found in small amounts in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, and vegetable oils. Some fortified foods also contain added plant sterols. 5. Garlic: Has been shown to have cholesterol-lowering properties. Incorporate fresh garlic into your meals. 6. Green Tea: Contains antioxidants that may help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Maintaining a balanced diet with these ingredients, along with your medication and exercise, will support your efforts to manage your cholesterol

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 90 and 100 beats per minute, even after starting a beta blocker. I'm taking Metocard XL 50 mg. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is there anything I should do differently?
no problem
