My dad was in the hospital, had an angiography, and they put a stent in his heart. Ever since, his heart rate's been all over the place, and he's been vomiting blood after eating or drinking. What's going on? Is this normal after a procedure like this, or should we be really concerned?

View allI'm 23 and every morning when I wake up, I feel this weird pain on the left side of my chest, right above my breast. It usually goes away after about 5 to 10 minutes. Should I be worried about this?
The intermittent morning chest pain on your left side, resolving within 5-10 minutes, could be related to musculoskeletal issues, such as costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage connecting ribs to breastbone) or pectoral muscle strain; however, given your age and symptom location, other possible causes, including cardiac conditions, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety, should be explored

I've just got my health check-up results and a few things look off, particularly my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 189 mgdl and triglycerides are 249 mgdl, with non-HDL cholesterol at 153 mgdl and VLDL cholesterol at 49.8 mgdl. I'm really concerned about how critical these numbers are and what I should be doing next. Is there a particular specialist I should see, or any specific steps you would recommend for someone my age? I'm 30 and just trying to figure out the best way forward.
"Based on your lab results, your Total Cholesterol level is 189 mgdl and Triglycerides level is 249 mgdl, which are both elevated. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition to lifestyle changes, you can also consider medication to help lower your cholesterol levels. I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider, such as a cardiologist or a general physician, who can prescribe you a medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a suitable dosage to help manage your cholesterol levels. Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider will be important to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also essential to continue monitoring your lipid profile regularly to track your improvement. Remember, these are just general recommendations based on the information provided. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment."
