I've been having this pain in the heart area of my chest for over three months now, and it happens about twice a week. I haven't been doing any kind of exercise recently. I'm starting to get really worried about it. Could this be something I should be concerned about? What might be causing this, and what should I do?

Need to know symptoms

I've just gotten some test results back and I'm a bit concerned. Most things seem to be in the normal range except for my Vitamin D 25 hydroxy and lipid profile. My Vitamin D 25 hydroxy level is at 32. For my lipid profile, my cholesterol is 206, triglycerides are 337, HDL is 35, LDL is 103.5, and VLDL is 67.5. Should I be consulting a physician or maybe even a cardiologist about this? I'm also curious about what precautions or medications I should consider to help lower my lipid profile and increase my Vitamin D 25 hydroxy levels.
Your vitamin D 25 hydroxy levels are lower than the normal range, and your lipid profile, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides, are elevated. To address these issues, you can take the following steps: 1. For Vitamin D deficiency (25 hydroxy level of 32): - You can take Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy of "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. - Spend more time in sunlight as it helps in natural synthesis of Vitamin D. 2. For high lipid profile: - To lower cholesterol, you can take statin medications such as "Atorvastatin" 20mg once daily. - To lower triglycerides, you can take medications like "Fenofibrate" 160mg once daily. - Additionally, focus on a healthy diet low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and simple sugars. - Regular exercise and weight management can also help improve lipid levels. It is advisable to follow up with a physician for further evaluation and monitoring of your lipid profile and vitamin D levels.
