I've been having this weird pain, like in my heart and behind it, and it's been slowly moving to my shoulder. Now my mouth is super dry and I'm even feeling some pain near the top part of my left arm, right above my heart. What could this mean? Should I be worried about these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take a tablet of aspirin (325mg) to help thin the blood and reduce the risk of further complications. Call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They've been at 219 and 342 respectively, for the last 6 months. I don't have any other medical issues. Do you think I need to start taking medication for this? I'm really unsure and would appreciate your advice.
Your cholesterol level of 219 and triglyceride level of 342 are elevated, indicating a risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting on a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 20mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg daily to specifically target your triglyceride levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
