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 recently did my routine test, and I'm quite worried about my lipid profile, especially the triglycerides, which don't look great. Should I consider getting more tests done, or is it time to start medication? My total cholesterol level is at 177 mg, triglycerides are 327 mg, HDL cholesterol is 37 mg, non-HDL cholesterol reads 140 mg, and LDL cholesterol is 108 mg with an atherosclerosis index of 5. I'd really appreciate some detailed advice on what steps I should take next.
Based on your lipid profile results, your triglyceride levels are high at 327mgdL. To help lower your triglyceride levels, you can start taking Omega-3 fatty acids supplements such as Lovaza 1-4 grams per day. Additionally, you can consider starting a statin medication like Lipitor (Atorvastatin) at a dose of 10-80 mg per day to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. It is important to also focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. Regular monitoring of your lipid profile will be necessary to track your progress.
