Cholesterol circulates in the blood stream. It is an essential molecule for the human body. Cholesterol is a molecule from which hormones and steroids are made. It is also used to maintain nerve cells. Between 75 and 80% of the cholesterol that circulates in a person's bloodstream is made in that person's liver.
They thought i was having a heart attack but everything came back ok.I am wonder could the med been to strong because now they have me on 10 mg and i haven't had anymore pain. I was told there would be some pain after having stents put in is that true.
Amongst the cardiac causes of chest pain are: ischemia (due to blockages - including both stable and unstable angina and acute heart attack and coronary artery spasm), I have coronary artery spasms, this is only found with a heart cath. test called ergotivine challenge test. My heart dr. did this test on me in the heart lab three times and all three times my heart went into spasms. now i take nitrates, carry nitro and take channel blockers.
