I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still be something heart-related even if the tests were okay?

Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.

I'm really worried because my homocysteine level is 93. Is that really dangerous? I also have MVP with moderate MR. I'm relieved that my white and red blood cells are at normal levels. Should I be concerned about the high homocysteine given my condition?
Hi, based on your homocysteine level of 93, it is considered high. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking a combination of medications such as Foltx (folic acid 1 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 1 mg) once daily. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and management.

I'm just about to hit 30 and have a 2-year-old at home. I recently got a blood test done, and I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 208, HDL is 46, non-HDL is 161, and LDL is 138. Do these levels mean I need to start any medication? For context, I weigh 75 kg, I'm 5'6", not diabetic, and my blood pressure usually tends to be on the lower side of normal. Are there specific lifestyle changes I should consider, or is medication the way to go here?
Based on your cholesterol levels, it seems like you are at average risk. However, your LDL cholesterol level is slightly elevated at 138 mgdL. To help lower your LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease, you may consider taking a statin medication. I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about starting a statin such as Atorvastatin at a low dose of 10 mg daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can also help improve your cholesterol levels.
