I recommend making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, you can consider taking a statin medication like Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication."

Question

I'm really worried about some symptoms I'm experiencing. I've been feeling this pain in the middle of my chest on the left side, and the back of my chest is hurting too. There's also a burning sensation in my stomach and esophagus, along with a cough. I went to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed it as burning in the stomach, gave me some medicine and an injection, and I felt a bit better afterward. But when I visited a physician later on, they did an ECG and mentioned something about a "left anterior hemiblock." Can you help me understand what might be going on or what this could mean?

Question

I'm noticing that my heart rate sits between 85 to 105 when I'm just resting. I had an ECG done and my doctor mentioned I have sinus tachycardia, but thankfully no arrhythmia. I'm kind of worried, thoughdoes this mean I'm at risk for a heart attack or maybe a brain stroke? I'm only 19, so I'm not sure what to think.
