Fear of dying from a heart attack or nervous breakdown, excessive anxiety, constant physical strain and shivering during panic attacks, an increase in heart rate, a decrease in consciousness, and chest pain; all tests have revealed no cardiac issues, only a slight rise in cholesterol levels

Your symptoms, fear of dying, racing heart, shivering, chest pain, and feeling faint with normal heart tests are most consistent with Panic disorder rather than a heart problem. While Hypercholesterolemia needs routine control, it doesn?t cause these sudden episodes. Try regular breathing exercises, good sleep, limiting caffeine, and stress management; a doctor may suggest therapy (CBT) or medicines if needed. Seek urgent care if chest pain is new, severe, or different, but for ongoing symptoms, consult a mental health professional for proper treatment and reassurance.

There is an increase in my?triglycerides and cholesterol levels. What should i do?

Raised Hypertriglyceridemia and Hypercholesterolemia can be improved with lifestyle changes?reduce sugar, fried and oily foods, increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats (nuts, seeds), exercise regularly, lose excess weight, and avoid alcohol and smoking. Recheck your lipid profile after 2?3 months; if levels remain high, a doctor may prescribe medicines like Atorvastatin.

I have high cholesterol and am overweight. have recently begun yoga and are seeing positive results. but wish to be sure that the amount of cholesterol is under control.

High cholesterol (Hypercholesterolemia) can be controlled with the good steps you?ve started?continue yoga, add regular brisk walking, and follow a heart-healthy diet (less fried/processed food, more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts). Check your lipid profile every 3?6 months to track progress. If levels remain high despite lifestyle changes, a doctor may advise medicines like Atorvastatin. Maintaining weight loss, controlling sugar/BP, and avoiding smoking will further reduce your risk.
