What Causes Strange Feeling In Chest With Slight Cholesterol Level?
Hi, I have an odd feeling in my chest (left side) it has been on and off for about 4 days now, and only really appears when I think about it. I recently had some blood and urine test done and they all came back fine apart from cholesterol being slightly high. I am not concerned it is a heart attack, just wondering what it might be. I currently have a sore throat which is getting better.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. For hypertension and hypercholesterolemia a feeling of heaviness of head is usual. But it is better to have an ecg to rule out any cardiac problems . Hypertension should be ruled out also. If that is fine you should do life style modification. If that is not helping then you should start statins like atorvastatin in low dose. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.
