I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

View allI'm 27 and just found out I have high cholesterol. My LDL was 190, HDL was 40, total cholesterol hit 280, and triglycerides were at 90. My B12 levels were at 80. The doctor had me on Crestor 20 mg for a few months, which got my LDL back to normal, but it messed with my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I switched to Prelipid and my cholesterol levels stabilized, but I've been having muscle pain and anxiety with it. Also, my family's got a history of high cholesterol. I've been playing lawn tennis regularly for the past few years and I really dont love the idea of staying on medication forever. Once I stop taking them, my cholesterol spikes again. Is there any way I can manage my cholesterol without being on meds for life? Would really appreciate some advice on if these medications are a must or if there's something else I can try!
u have to continue with tab crestor 20 mg at bedtime continuosly ,and recheck the lipid panel once in 3 months, better to continue with the medications.Regular aerobic exercises, protein diet is advised.Alcholol and smoking cessation is needed.Also use of butter and ghee is not advised

I'm 20 years old and just had a lipid profile done. The results are attached here. Is it okay to take krill oil and atorvastatin 5 mg together after dinner? I'm a little concerned and would love your advice!

I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with costochondritis and whenever I visit the doctor, my heart rate skyrockets and my blood pressure goes up, but when I'm back home, everything seems to settle down to normal. I'm really anxious about this. Could you help me understand what's happening and any suggestions on what I could do?
Your symptoms suggest white coat hypertension and anxiety, common in people with costochondritis; to manage anxiety, consider relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, and for white coat hypertension, ask your doctor about ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or home blood pressure tracking to get accurate readings and alleviate anxiety-related spikes.
