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 really curious about something. I took 20mg of tadalafil about four days ago and noticed that my usual heart rate, which is in the 70s or 80s, has dropped to the 60s. Could tadalafil be causing this change in heart rate? Should I be concerned?
Tadalafil, commonly known as Cialis, is not typically known to directly reduce heart rate as a common side effect. However, it is possible for some individuals to experience changes in heart rate as a result of using tadalafil. In your case, the decrease in heart rate from the 70-80s range to the 60s range could be a potential effect of tadalafil. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if you have any concerns or experience any other unusual symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because my LDL cholesterol level is 187, but all my other tests like ECG, 2D echo, blood, and urine have come back normal. What steps should I take to bring my LDL down?
