Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a woman in my mid fifties, a little overweight and a history of heart disease in my family.This morning I was sitting at the table when I leaned over to pick up something off the floor, I could suddenly actually hear my heart beat and the blood swooshing with each beat. I was diagnosed recently with very high cholesterol. So I am wondering if there is any connection ...or if there is any need for concern.
Not a matter of worry. can sometimes happen normally as well. however if there is no other symptom then it's not significant. however heart auscultation will ruled out heart problem. if associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain then should be evaluated. lifestyle change, low fat diet, medicine for cholesterol. Also blood pressure and sugar levels should also be tested once.
