I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 217, triglycerides are 163, HDL is 48, and LDL is 145. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5'10". Do you think I should start medication for cholesterol, or would simply making some lifestyle changes be enough?

Based on your cholesterol levels, medication may be required in addition to lifestyle changes. To lower your LDL cholesterol level of 145, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Along with this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is also recommended.

I've been having a breathing problem that started with feeling like I had a missed heartbeat. Now, every 15 to 20 minutes, I get this short spell where I have trouble breathing, like something is blocking my airway, just for a couple of seconds. I went to the doctor about six months ago, and they said it was nothing to worry about, but it's still happening. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
