I've been having pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder for the past couple of weeks, and sometimes I feel some chest pain too. I went to the doctor and got an ECG, but it came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I see a cardiologist or maybe an orthopedic doctor? It's really starting to worry me, and I'd appreciate some advice on the next steps.

View allI'm looking at my cholesterol numbers and I'm a bit worried. My total cholesterol is 226.3 mgdL, LDL is 145.7 mgdL, and triglycerides are 190.5 mgdL. Is this something I should be really concerned about? What does this mean for my health?
Cholesterol total of 226.3mgdl, LDL cholesterol of 145.7mgdl, and triglycerides of 190.5mgdl indicate slightly elevated levels, which may increase the risk of heart disease. To help lower these levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower LDL cholesterol and Fenofibrate 145mg once daily to lower triglycerides. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also be beneficial.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?
Given that all tests are normal, your physician may consider your high blood pressure (13095) as "essential hypertension" or "idiopathic hypertension," meaning it has no identifiable cause, and recommend lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep, along with possible medication to manage and control your blood pressure

During my recent checkup, all my cholesterol levels came back high total cholesterol at 257, triglycerides 216, HDL 40, LDL 174, VLDL 43, and non-HDL at 217. I had gallbladder and appendicitis surgery back in 2014. Could these surgeries be linked to my high cholesterol? What could be causing this, and how can I bring these numbers down? Also, what symptoms should I watch out for that might mean things are getting worse?
