I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

Got my lipid profile test back, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are at 257. I'm pretty concerned about it. Could you let me know what steps I should take to manage this?

With a cholesterol level of 257, consider lifestyle modifications and dietary changes to help lower your cholesterol; aim to increase soluble fiber intake through foods like oats, barley, and fruits, and reduce saturated and trans fats by limiting dairy, red meat, and processed foods; also, incorporate aerobic exercise, stress management, and weight loss
