I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having some chest discomfort and mild pain that sometimes happens on the left side and other times in the center. He gets really nervous, and his heart rate spikes to around 90-98 bpm when this happens, but when he's more relaxed, it goes back down to about 68-72 bpm. He runs on the treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes at least five days a week and doesn't feel any discomfort during that time. Although he has an acidity and GERD problem, he's finished his course of medication and isn't taking any other tablets. His sugar and blood pressure are normal, and chest X-rays came back fine, with an orthopaedic saying it's nothing serious and just suggesting vitamins. He also feels pain at certain points when the chest is pressed. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if it could be his heart, acidity, muscular, or maybe even a nerve issue. Do you think an angiography would be necessary given his normal reports so far?

View allI'm struggling with high cholesterol levels and I'm trying to figure out what to do. My total cholesterol is sitting at 221, with an LDL of 146, HDL is 36, and VLDL is 39. Plus, my triglycerides are at 280. I also smoke, but I've been cutting back bit by bit. Do I need to start taking statins because of this? And if I do start them, is it possible to stop once my cholesterol levels go down?
Yes you have to start statins and quit smoking completely,maintain healthy lifestyle and stay physically active,use statins for a period of 3 months and check your lipid profile for followup

I'm getting really tired when I dance or do even small heavy tasks, and I'm not sure why. I already had an ECG, and it came back normal. I'm just wondering if there's something else that could be causing this?
Feeling tired during physical activity could be due to various reasons, even if your ECG results are normal. One common reason for this could be iron deficiency anemia. I recommend you to take iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily after meals for a few months. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in iron and other essential nutrients. If the symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.
