I'm really worried because I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for a few months now. I'm asthmatic but I'm not having any trouble breathing or coughing. I saw a heart doctor and he did an echo, which came back normal, and the chest X-ray was normal too. The pain is kind of between my lower ribs up to the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it goes to my back. I'm really scared about what it could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm 32 and recently had an ECG done for ICL eye surgery my heart rate was around 120-127. I don't have any health issues, heart pain, or abnormalities, and my full-body checks since 27 always show a heart rate in the 120 range. Is this a serious problem, and can I still go ahead with the ICL surgery? I've attached my report for reference.
You have a consistently high heart rate around 120 range for the past 5 years without any health issues or abnormalities. This may be normal for you, especially if you are physically active or have a naturally high heart rate. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your elevated heart rate to ensure it is not due to any underlying medical condition. Considering you are planning to proceed with ICL eye surgery, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to assess your heart health and determine if any further investigations or treatment are necessary before undergoing the surgery. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate if needed. It is important to address any potential cardiac issues before proceeding with surgery to ensure your safety and well-being

I've recently had my cholesterol tested, and it turns out my HDL cholesterol level is 32. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should go for any additional tests? Does this low HDL indicate any risk of heart disease?
A low HDL cholesterol level of 32 may increase your risk for heart disease. To further evaluate your heart health, you may consider getting a lipid profile test done. This test will provide more detailed information about your cholesterol levels, including LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Based on the results of the lipid profile, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and medication if necessary.

My blood pressure has been consistently around 150100 for the last two weeks, and it's making me a little worried. I sometimes feel dizzy and really tired, almost like I just want to sleep all the time. I've heard from someone that once you start medication for BP, it becomes a lifetime thing, and if you stop, your BP will just spike up again. I'm not sure what I should do about it. Do you have any advice?
It's important to manage your high blood pressure to prevent complications. In addition to medication, you can make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. You can also try natural remedies like garlic supplements or hibiscus tea. However, if your blood pressure remains high, it's advisable to start medication.
