Im having elevated ldl cholesterol above 190mg/dl from past 3 yrs , with lifestyle modification and diet changes i have reduced my weight by 7kg and ldl cholesterol to 158mg/dl. Despite of the changes im having borderline high ldl cholesterol. I have also done lipoprotein a test which is also on the higher side . Do I require to take statins for indefinite period or I can decrease cholesterol levels further by diet and exercise alone.
Since the past two days have been having some weird pressure and deep burning ache in my neck and jaw- I was also having occasional chest pressure, but I knew it was due to GERD but this neck n jaw issue is new
I consulted my regular cardiologist, who did ECG, echo and some blood test, which were completely normal - I also have a history of a normal invasivea angiogram done a year ago
He gave me medicines for GRD and dysphasia mentioning that GERD issues can present in several atypical ways
But my mind remains fixed on cardiac side - since all the investigations have been done, I don't know if I should go for any other test
Doctor, I’ve been experiencing the following symptoms:
1. My heart beats rapidly and also throat carotid pulse beating rapidly.
2. I get goosebumps on my left arm.
3. I feel tingling and twitching in the veins/nerves of my left arm, neck, shoulder, back, and sometimes my cheek and eyebrow.
4. When I wake up after lying down, it feels like something is moving from the veins in my shoulder toward my chest, like a worm running through the veins.
Whar is this? Can you please tell and give some advise?,
On my left centre chest side, sharp, pinching pain is occuring while i breathe deeply, yawn, burp and during bending.
It started from 1-1:30 hour before..
