Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

I've been having this chest pain on the right side near my shoulder for a couple of months now. I saw a doctor near my place, and he checked me out, saying there's nothing to worry about, but the pain is still bothering me. He gave me some medicine called UGESIC 20mg and suggested I get an HB test. What could this pain mean, and should I be doing something more or different?

I'm curious about something. Can heart attacks cause just pain in the left arm with no chest pain at all? I've been feeling a bit of pain in my left arm, like above the elbow and sometimes near the shoulder. Should I be worried? Can heart issues manifest as only arm pain and not have any chest pain involved?

ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the pt.
