I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having chest pain for a while and thought it might be due to gastric issues, but yesterday it got really bad and lasted more than half an hour. Now she's noticing that when she turns her head to the right, the pain in her chest gets worse. Since yesterday, she's also been feeling some uneasiness in her chest. What could be going on? Should we be worried about something serious?

View allI've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.
"Based on your lab results, your Total Cholesterol level is 189 mgdl and Triglycerides level is 249 mgdl, which are both elevated. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition to lifestyle changes, you can also consider medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider, such as a cardiologist or a general physician, who can prescribe you a medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a suitable dosage to help manage your cholesterol levels. Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider will be important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also essential to continue monitoring your lipid profile regularly to track your improvement. Remember, these are just general recommendations based on the information provided. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment."

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient. Rest contine all the medications.Also tablet levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime,orally for 5 days is advised . Steam inhalation and saline gargles is also advised to the patient.
