Experiencing chest pain despite normal X-rays, blood tests, and mucus tests can have several possible explanations. It might be related to musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, acid reflux, or other respiratory conditions not easily detected by these initial tests. If the pain is related to heart issues, a cardiologist may be recommended for a more specialized evaluation.

The term "cardiovascular infection in the lung with no pneumonia" is not a recognized medical diagnosis. Infections in the lung are usually classified as respiratory infections, and cardiovascular issues related to the heart and blood vessels. To gain a clear understanding of your condition, talk to your nearest cardiologist who can provide an accurate diagnosis.

Ok. Actually the procedure helps open the blocked artery and prevent future blockages. After cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes are normally recommended to take care of heart health and reduce the risk of heart issues in future. Still consult your cardiologist for personalized advice.

Your cholesterol levels with elevated LDL and low HDL along with a high LDL to HDL ratio suggest a risk for heart disease. To understand your risk better consult a cardiologist or a physician.. They can provide personalized guidance, recommend lifestyle changes, and discuss medication options if needed to manage your cholesterol and lower your heart disease risk.
