Palpitations can be concerning, especially if you have high LDL levels. To help manage your palpitations and lower your LDL levels, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as exercising regularly and following a heart-healthy diet. In addition, your doctor may prescribe you a medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg to help lower your LDL levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Based on your description, it is possible that your chest pain is indeed related to chest muscle pain. To help relieve the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant such as methocarbamol to help relax the chest muscles and alleviate the pain. It is also important to rest the affected area and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
