I've been having this pain in the ribs on the lower side of my chest for the past couple of days, plus my neck and shoulders are aching. There's no trouble when I breathe, and I'm not overweight. I make sure to exercise and walk every day. What do you think might be going on?

View allI'm a bit worried about my husband's health. His vitamin B12 levels are at 185, and his vitamin D is 6.7. Plus, his homocysteine is pretty high at 56. The doctor has mentioned he should take Nurokind Plus for a long time. Is there anything else he should be doing or watching out for? Also, I've noticed his HDL cholesterol is low. Any advice on how we can improve that?
In addition to taking Nurokind Plus for his vitamin B12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and high homocysteine levels, your husband can also make some lifestyle changes to improve his HDL cholesterol levels. He should focus on incorporating more healthy fats into his diet, such as olive oil, avocados, and fatty fish like salmon. Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can also help raise HDL levels. Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption can have a positive impact on HDL cholesterol.
