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 allI'm really concerned about this persistent pain in my left arm that's been going on for around two months. I've had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the doctor said everything looks good, but its still there. I found out my triglyceride cholesterol levels are a bit high, around 300. I've been on Rosufit10 for about the same time, but I'm not sure how long I need to keep taking it. I tried taking Gabapin Plus 100 for the muscle pain, did it for a month, but that didnt seem to help much. Now I'm considering going for a CT angio to get a clearer picture. Are there any side effects or risks I should know about?
For your high triglyceride levels, continue taking Rosufit10 as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, statin medications like Rosufit10 are taken long-term to manage cholesterol levels effectively. - Since Gabapin Plus 100 did not help with your muscle pain, you may discuss alternative medications with your doctor. They may consider prescribing a different muscle relaxant or pain reliever based on your specific symptoms. - CT angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical test, it carries some risks. These risks include exposure to radiation, potential allergic reactions to contrast dye, and a small risk of kidney damage in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions. It's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

I'm really concerned about my recent hscrp test results, which came back at 45. Alongside that, my total cholesterol is 235. What should I be doing about this?
I recommend you start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider taking Aspirin 81mg daily to reduce inflammation. It's also important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise to improve your overall cardiovascular health."
