I've been having chest pain for a couple of days now, and it's pretty constant, especially when I'm just sitting or lying down. Plus, sometimes I get this pain in my shoulder and neck, and even occasionally a stomach ache. I'm 20, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm not overweight. Could this be something serious like a heart attack or angina? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do.

Based on your symptoms and age, it is less likely to be a heart attack or angina. However, chest pain should never be ignored. It is important to rule out any serious conditions. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or acid reflux. I recommend taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums for stomach ache and trying ibuprofen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels after getting my test results. My total cholesterol is 179 mgdL, and my HDL is 54 mgdL, but my triglycerides are 255 mgdL. The LDL came in at 77 mgdL and VLDL was calculated at 50.9 mgdL. I've read that the TCHDL ratio is 3.3, and the LDLHDL ratio is 1.4are these numbers okay? Should I be concerned about my triglycerides and how they might affect my health? What should I do next?
The lipid profile results show that your total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels are within normal ranges. However, your VLDL cholesterol level is slightly elevated, which may increase your risk of heart disease. To help lower your triglyceride levels and VLDL cholesterol, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-80 mg per day. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to improve your lipid profile.
