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.

In addition to my elevated cholesterol, I occasionally experience heart palpitations. Therefore, to solve this issue, some significant treatment is required.

Occasional palpitations with Hypercholesterolemia are usually not directly related, but both need evaluation. Palpitations are often due to stress, caffeine, or minor rhythm issues; try reducing caffeine, getting good sleep, and managing stress. You should get an ECG and possibly a Holter test to rule out Arrhythmia. For cholesterol, continue diet control, exercise, and weight management; if levels remain high, a doctor may prescribe medicines. Consult a physician for proper assessment and targeted treatment.

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.
