Can this be angina pain?
Hi Sir, last month I had discomfort in my chest and pain. Doctor suggested me to go for full body checkup in which sugar, ecg, echo, tmt, chest x-ray, lipid, pft test were done . All results were normal except for cholesterol. Total cholesterol is 219.0 , LDL is 154 , HDL 36.0. doctor suggested me to reduce weight and prescribed tablet Rosuvas for cholesterol . My bp is around 140/90. Weight is 110kg.
Now after a month , I am again feeling chest discomfort with mild pain sometimes. One day I was feeling short breath which increased on lying flat. Feeling dizziness too. Please advise.

Hello,
Your problem seems obesity related. As all your heart tests are normal this can not be angina. Might be obesity hypoventilation syndrome or obstructive sleep apnoea which is causing you breathing difficulty during sleep.
Next Steps
Focus on weight reduction aggressively

Yes overweight is the only issue you have
Good time to work out
Breathlessness on lying flat is not cardic in nature.
Work out in graded manner is advised.

The main issue with you is high cholesterol and obesity
You need to continue Rosuvas tablet
Repeat your cholesterol after 3 months
You need to put effort to reduce your weight and change your life style and daily exercise and diet control
For pain the chances of having blockage is even though less I suggest CT coronary angiogram to rule out any significant blockages in your coronary artery
