I've noticed some changes in my recent lab results, and I'm a bit worried. My triglycerides have gone up from 374 in December to 470 mgdl now. My HDL improved from 31 to 42 mgdl, but my LDL dropped from 153 to 78 mgdl and my VLDL jumped from 34 to 94 mgdl. I haven't taken any medicine, just changed my diet and stopped eating out. Should I see a cardiologist or just a regular physician?

View allI've been dealing with chest pain for the past one and a half months. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, Echo, and TMT done, and all the reports came back normal. I even went to a cardiologist, and he said it's not related to my heart. The pain started about a week after I found out I have high BP. I'm currently taking Prolomet AM, Pantocid IT, Drise 60k, and Rozavel. The pain feels like muscle pain on the upper side of my chest, on both sides. Sometimes, it feels like a pinch all over my chest. It also extends to my underarms and neck occasionally, and I feel tightness, especially on the upper right side of my chest. I sometimes have itching in my chest and sensations below my chin and jawline. What's strange is that I feel a bit better after some physical activity, like exercising or walking. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

I've been having this really intense chest pain whenever I'm sleeping or after sitting down for a long time. It's weird because it never happens when I'm walking around. The pain doesn't spread to my jaw or arms, and I'm not experiencing any breathlessness, but my digestion isn't right either. This has been going on for about a month now, but only occasionally. Could you give me some advice on what's going on or what I should do?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view and cardiac markers is advised to the patient.

I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?
Palpitations during exercise can be concerning, even if your cardiologist has given you the all-clear. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before exercising to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before working out. If the palpitations persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.
