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 dealing with this left-side chest pain for the past 4 months, and it's starting to worry me. I saw a doctor who asked me to get an ECG, an X-ray, and a lipid profile. The ECG and X-ray came back normal, but my cholesterol and triglycerides were high. The meds he gave me brought those levels down within 2 months, but the chest pain just won't go away completely. I can still play and get my work done, but the pain shows up sometimes at night or when I'm at my desk. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
It's good that your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are normal now. Since your chest pain persists, it's important to consider other possible causes. Given your history of high cholesterol and chest pain, it's important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend discussing with your doctor the possibility of angina or other heart-related conditions. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice a day to see if it helps with the chest pain, as it could be related to acid reflux. However, it's crucial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I recently had an ECG because I've been experiencing some mild chest pain. My doctor said it was gastric pain, but the ECG report showed a borderline sinus rhythm and some non-specific T wave abnormalities. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Should I be worried about these results? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.

I'm wondering if taking 40 mg of atorvastatin for just 5 days is enough to lower triglycerides and VLDL levels? Is it safe to then stop the medication abruptly after such a short time? I'm just worried about the correct dosage and whether this approach is effective or if it might cause any issues.
take statins for 2 to 3 months minimum to get a good response. 5 days medicine will not give desirable benefits.
