I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.

View allMy sister has been having a heartbeat issue for about a month. Her heart beats increase suddenly and she starts breathing really fast. Could this be a heart problem, or is it something else? What should I do? I'm really worried.
It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, to help manage the symptoms, you can consider giving her Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25 mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate the heart rate and reduce symptoms of palpitations. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice for a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

My mother's cholesterol level is really high at 403 mgdL, and her serum triglycerides are at 178 mgdL. What's strange is that she doesn't have any symptoms you'd usually expect with high cholesterol, like chest pain or nausea. Could you take a look at her lipid profile report and let me know what you think? I'm really worried because it doesn't add up.
Since she is not experiencing any symptoms of high cholesterol like chest pain or nausea, she may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to manage her cholesterol levels to prevent future health issues. I recommend starting her on a statin medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a low dose of 10mg daily. Additionally, she can take Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to help lower triglyceride levels. It is also important for her to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise. Regular monitoring of her lipid profile is essential to track progress.
