Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms don't seem to be cardiac related (based on your symptoms and performed tests).

A prolonged chest pain is not typical of any cardiac disorder.

A musculo-skeletal issue or a gastric disorder could be related to this symptomatology.

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a chest x ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, PCR, sedimentation rate).

A fibrogastroscopy may be needed to exclude a possible gastro-esophageal disorder.

Meanwhile I would recommend some lifestyle changes, to help you reduce your cholesterol levels:

- a low sugar and fat diet
- a lot of physical exercise (walking and aerobics)
- lose weight.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
