I've been dealing with chest pain for the past one and a half months. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, Echo, and TMT done, and all the reports came back normal. I even went to a cardiologist, and he said it's not related to my heart. The pain started about a week after I found out I have high BP. I'm currently taking Prolomet AM, Pantocid IT, Drise 60k, and Rozavel. The pain feels like muscle pain on the upper side of my chest, on both sides. Sometimes, it feels like a pinch all over my chest. It also extends to my underarms and neck occasionally, and I feel tightness, especially on the upper right side of my chest. I sometimes have itching in my chest and sensations below my chin and jawline. What's strange is that I feel a bit better after some physical activity, like exercising or walking. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

View allI'm a little concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 234, triglycerides are 169, HDL cholesterol is 46.2, and non-HDL cholesterol is 193. I'm really wondering how risky these numbers are. Should I be thinking about taking medication, or could some lifestyle changes make a big difference?
Total cholesterol of 234 mgdL is slightly above the desirable level of less than 200 mgdL. Triglycerides of 169 mgdL are also slightly elevated, while HDL cholesterol of 46.2 mgdL is below the optimal level of 60 mgdL. Non-HDL cholesterol of 193 mgdL is also slightly elevated. These values indicate a moderate risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, lifestyle changes are recommended as the first step to improve your cholesterol levels. This includes following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient to bring your cholesterol levels to the desired range, medication may be considered. Statin medications such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (brand name Crestor) may be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. The dosage and specific medication will depend on your individual health profile and risk factors. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and working closely with your healthcare provider will help determine the most appropriate course of action for managing your cholesterol levels.

I'm wondering about something. I had an angioplasty last year and got a stent placed. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird palpitations every night as I try to sleep, but I don't actually feel them in my chest. It's strange because they're more noticeable in my jaw. My doctor prescribed Prolomet XL 25, which I've been taking for about four months now, even though I don't have high blood pressure. I'm really curious if this is something that's going to stick around forever or if there's a way to get rid of it. What's your take on this?
The palpitations you're experiencing, particularly at night and localized to your jaw, may be related to anxiety, stress, or a cardiac issue; given your history of angioplasty and stent placement, consult your cardiologist to rule out any underlying cardiac concerns, and consider adjusting your Prolomet XL 25 dosage or exploring alternative treatments, such as beta blockers or anti-anxiety medications, to alleviate symptoms.
