I'm really concerned about some pain I've been experiencing. It started about four months ago with chest pain and pain in my left arm. I went to a doctor who said it might be gastric issues, but I was worried so I saw a cardiologist. They did a chest X-ray, a TMT, and an echo 2D, and everything came back negative. My relative, who's a doctor, suggested it might be muscle pain or cervical spondylosis, but I still have this persistent pain in my left arm along with a burning sensation. I've read about anxiety causing these kinds of symptoms, but the pain is also in my neck, jaw, left arm, shoulder, and chest. I'm really hoping for some clarification on what might be going on. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

View allI've been having this neck pain near my carotid pulse for a few days now, and it's like this sharp pain that comes and goes. My carotid pulse feels like it's beating strongly and sometimes fast. The first time it started was when I almost got mad at my boss. I also noticed my neck felt tight, and my tie was a bit snug. The next day, I checked my blood pressure at a clinic, and it was normal. I'm worried about what's going on. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

I'm a little worried because my heart rate's been around 120 to 130, which seems pretty high. On top of that, my cholesterol levels aren't great either. My triglycerides are 417, HDL is 21, LDL is 102, Non-HDL is 179, and VLDL is 83.4. What do you think could be going on? Should I be concerned?
A pulse rate of 120 to 130, combined with high cholesterol levels, requires attention to reduce cardiovascular risk. Consult your healthcare provider to evaluate underlying conditions like hyperthyroidism or anxiety, and to discuss potential medications such as statins for cholesterol and beta-blockers for heart rate control. Implement lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and reducing intake of saturated fats and sugars. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol and heart rate is essential to track progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized advice.
