My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

View allI've been dealing with this sharp pain in the upper left side of my chest for about 56 days now, and it's kind of freaking me out. It just hits out of nowhere, especially when I cough or change position in bed. What could this be, and should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, which can be caused by inflammation of the muscles or tendons in the chest wall. To help relieve the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) as needed. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?
yes u can take crestor 5mg , both the medications composition is the same...

I'm really concerned about my triglyceride levels, which are over 700 mgdL. Could you advise me on what foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, do you know what kind of medication I should consider?
For high triglyceride levels, it is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. You should focus on consuming foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts, can help lower triglyceride levels. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit intake of sugary foods and beverages, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and saturated fats (found in red meat, butter, cheese). It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. As for medication, your doctor may prescribe statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. They may also consider prescribing fibrates such as Fenofibrate or Omega-3 fatty acid supplements to help manage your triglycerides. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make the necessary lifestyle changes to improve your triglyceride levels.
