I've been experiencing some pain in my left armpit and the far left side of my chest, near the armpit, for almost an hour. It's not super sharp, but it's definitely something I've never felt before. It went away after a while, and I feel fine now. Do you think I should be worried about this?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. My triglycerides are at 343, total cholesterol is 145, HDL is 21, and LDL is 55.4. By the way, I had an angioplasty just a month ago. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? Should I be worried or make any changes to my routine?
Your lipid profile indicates significantly elevated triglycerides at 343 mgdL, low HDL cholesterol at 21 mgdL, and relatively low LDL cholesterol at 55.4 mgdL. These values are concerning, especially given that you recently underwent angioplasty. Elevated triglycerides and low HDL levels are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of further complications. It is essential to follow a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medications to manage lipid levels. Work closely with your cardiologist to monitor and manage your lipid profile, and follow their recommendations to reduce cardiovascular risk.

I'm feeling really anxious lately, and I've started noticing this strange sensation where my heart suddenly seems to beat extra hard or feels delayed, especially when I'm just sitting or standing quietly. Could my anxiety be causing these strong or extra heartbeats, or is there something else going on that I should be worried about?

I've had a 2D echo and an ECG, and both came back normal, and my TMT was negative too. But sometimes I get this pinching pain on the left side of my chest that lasts for about 9-10 seconds. It really freaks me out and makes me anxious, thinking there might be something wrong with my heart. What could this be and what should I do about it?
It's good that your 2D echo, ECG, and TMT results were normal. The pain you are experiencing could be due to anxiety or muscle strain. To alleviate the pain and anxiety, you can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can help reduce anxiety. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
