I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

View allI'm really worried about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is now 273 and my LDL cholesterol is at 191, which has gone up from 180. My TcholHDL ratio has also increased to 6.5, and it used to be lower. The LDLHDL ratio is now 4.5, and it was around 2.5 before. My non-HDL cholesterol is 230.92. With all these numbers going up, am I at risk? What should I do to bring everything back to normal? Also, my triglycerides have improved a bit, now at 182 from 305, but I'm still concerned. Would appreciate some guidance.
Your cholesterol levels indicate that you are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. To help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, medication may be prescribed by your doctor to help manage your cholesterol levels. For your high LDL cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage recommended by your healthcare provider. This medication helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. To improve your cholesterol ratios and overall lipid profile, you can also discuss with your doctor about taking Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a suitable dosage. Fenofibrate helps lower triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol levels, which can further reduce your cardiovascular risk. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.

I keep waking up with chest pain in the morning. I've already had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and everything came back normal. I'm currently taking acidity tablets. Sometimes I even feel a pinning sensation in my chest. Do you have any advice on how I can make this pain go away?

I'm really worried about what to do if a family member, like my mom or dad, ever has chest pain, starts sweating a lot, or has pain in the arm or shoulder. What if they start vomiting too? I mean, in that moment, can I give them aspirin or sorbitrate? And if so, how much should I give? Could you explain how to properly administer it? I'm a bit anxious about this and not really sure about the right steps.
tab sorbitrate 5 mg ,sublingual is advised.
