I've been experiencing this weird right chest pain for the past three days, and it's been bothering me quite a bit. It even seems to make my hand hurt, which is really concerning. I'm not sure what's causing this discomfort. Could it be something serious, or is it just some kind of acdt problem? I'm not really familiar with what that means. What should I do?

View allI've recently got my test results back, and they mentioned that my cholesterol levels aren't great. The ECG report also showed something called a Left axis deviation. I'm feeling a bit concerned and would love to understand what this could mean for my health and if there's anything I should be doing about it. Is it something serious? What steps should I take next, and could lifestyle changes make a difference here?
For high cholesterol levels, you can start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily. This medication helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood. As for the left deviation axis on your ECG report, it could indicate various underlying heart conditions. It would be best to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my father. He's been diagnosed with severe coronary ectasia and previously, doctors mentioned that a bypass surgery isn't an option for him. I'm wondering if treatments like Ace Inhibitors or the drug Entresto could be effective in his situation? Lately, he's been having more frequent chest pains and feeling a lot of unease. Could you provide some guidance on this?
For the treatment of coronary ectasia, Ace Inhibitors such as Lisinopril can be beneficial in managing symptoms and improving heart function. The recommended dosage of Lisinopril is usually starting at 2.5-5 mg once a day, which can be adjusted by the doctor based on individual response. Entresto, which is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, can also be considered for the treatment of heart failure in patients with reduced ejection fraction. The usual starting dose of Entresto is 4951 mg twice daily, which can be increased to the target maintenance dose of 97103 mg twice daily as tolerated. However, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making changes to his current treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare professional are essential in managing coronary ectasia and associated symptoms.
