Chest pain even after all reports normal
Hi Sir, last month I had discomfort in my chest and pain. Doctor suggested me to go for full body checkup in which sugar, ecg, echo, tmt, chest x-ray, lipid, pft test were done . All results were normal except for cholesterol. Total cholesterol is 219.0 , LDL is 154 , HDL 36.0. doctor suggested me to reduce weight and prescribed tablet Rosuvas for cholesterol . My bp is around 140/90. Weight is 110kg.
Now after a month , I am again feeling chest discomfort with mild pain sometimes. One day I was feeling short breath which increased on lying flat. Feeling dizziness too. Please advise.
I am not taking any bp medicine, but just now my father's surgeon sugegsted me to take Amlodipine to. I just called and asked him for coursey advise. Is Amlodipine good?

Yes amlodipine is good antihypertensive drug. However you have several issues like increased cholesterol level and obesity. Therefore you need to focus on those factors also. Apart from that I need yo know your ECG, ECHO reports also.
Therefore you can consult me in private chat with all those reports for further evaluation.
Thank you

Life style modification is most important for you, specially weight reduction.
Remember most of the things will settle after reducing the weight.
For that increase fruits, vegetables and wholegrain.
Daily 30 min brisk walk.
Low salt and low fat diet.
Calories reduction.
