I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest and it's also in the inside part of my left shoulder, going to the back as well. It's weird because it's not the whole chest, just specific points. Sometimes the pain even jumps to my right side for a few seconds. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it's been 80120. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will pass on its own?

Based on your description of chest pain localized to specific points and radiating to the back, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, given your age and blood pressure reading, it is less likely to be related to the heart. This type of pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected areas and practicing gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm feeling really tired and weak after my angioplasty. I'm also sweating a lot, and I've got these cold shivers. Walking is hard because of that, and I've noticed five black dots on the sole of my foot. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing all this?
It is post angioplasty complications.. The complications will settle within 2-3 days, if persisting cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient..

I'm a bit confused about my liver function test results. My total cholesterol is at 230, and I've gotten different opinions from doctors. Some suggest medication, while others say it's nothing to worry about. Should I be concerned about this level? When exactly should I start taking action or medication?
A total cholesterol level of 230 is considered borderline high, which means you're at risk of developing heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a total cholesterol level below 200 milligrams per deciliter (mgdL). Here are some conditions where you should take care: Liver-Related Conditions - Fatty Liver Disease: Excess fat accumulation in liver cells can disrupt liver function and increase cholesterol levels. - Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): A more severe form of fatty liver disease characterized by inflammation and scarring. - Cirrhosis: Late-stage liver disease where liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, affecting cholesterol metabolism [1). Lifestyle Changes To manage your cholesterol levels: - Exercise Regularly: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly. - Follow a Healthy Diet: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources. - Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight contributes to high cholesterol [1).
