Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Random Chest Pains With High Cholesterol Levels?
I am 30 years old slim, do not smoke. I have random chest pains on and off for around 6months. I had ecgs, 2decho dopple, stress test and blood tests done. The only issue was that my cholestrial level was a little high...I eat 2 many candys and drink 2 many soft drinks so wasn't that suprising. I still get occassional chest pains, and after reading loads of info on the internet have become worried that waht if the tests missed soemthing. I am now not sure what is wrong with me?
If you are so much unsure, you can go for a investigation called holter monitoring where your ecg is monitored over a day to look for any abnormalities. And also your lifestyle points that you could be a candidate for an increased risk of gastritis. The caffiene in the soft drinks also contributes to it. Gastritis can also at times can cause chest pains. If that is the case, I would have recommended my patients lifestyle modifications along with medications like pantoprazole to address the gastric symptoms. I would also advice regular physical activity and a well balanced diet to keep your cholesterol under check. Do discuss the above options with your care giver. Hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
