I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

Hey, I just got my recent blood work back, and it's got me a bit concerned. My HDL is at 30 and LDL is really high at 240. Should I be alarmed by these numbers? I've started watching my diet about a week ago to boost my HDL and lower my LDL, but I'm wondering if that'll really make a difference. What should I expect in terms of improvement? Would love some guidance on what else I should be doing.
To help improve your HDL and lower your LDL levels, you can continue with your proper diet and also consider medication if necessary. For increasing HDL, you can try incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. To lower LDL, you can focus on a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and high in fiber. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to help lower your LDL levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
