Hi, I am a 32 y/o female with a family history of high cholesterol. My total cholesterol is currently 359 and my ldl is 281, these numbers are correct...Not a typo.
I have beenhaving chest pain for the last week....Sharp stabbing pain in the left side of my chest and I have been having numbness and tingling in my left arm and hand for the past 2 days. I have a little numbness and tingling in my right arm as well... Not near as bad as the left though. I had an echocardiogram done and it came back normal except for tricuspid regurgitation that I was told was very minor, and not an issue?? I am wondering if anyone has any ideas and or suggestions as to what I should look for next in testing, it seems that I have to ask for any test I might want done as they are not being readily offered.
Thanks for your help.
