Why do most heart attacks occur in the morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

View allI'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I'm taking atorvastatin, 10mg, for my hyperlipidemia. I'm a bit worried if this might cause a drop in my blood platelet count. Could you help me understand the risk?
Atorvastatin is not known to directly cause low blood platelet count. However, in rare cases, some individuals may experience a decrease in platelet count while taking atorvastatin. If you notice any unusual bruising or bleeding, please consult your healthcare provider.
