Abnormal Chest X-Ray – Please help and explain !?

My dad is a 57 year old male. We have no insurance. He has always been healthy and been on no medications. He has had a bout of kidney stones in 1999 and had similar problems a couple of days ago. He went to the doctor and everything went fine with that, but the Dr. wanted to order some lab work because he has never had any done. He had a EKG that was normal other than bradycardia (slow heartbeat). His chest x-ray however came back abnormal. We are going for a follow up in a couple of weeks, but I am worried about the chest x-ray findings. It said that he had ASVD and borderline cardiomegaly with aortic calcification. I also should note that his Cholesterol was 159 normal. HDL and LDL was normal, but on the bad end of normal. The lipid panel showed a high risk factor of heart attack and stroke. Please help me understand and what can be done. Like I said we don’t have insurance and live on a limited income. I would appreciate any help !!

well i donno about xrays, but i can help with the lab results.

risk factor is calculated like the : total cholesterol / HDL (good) cholesterol. so if his total cholesterol is slightly elevated and HDL a little bit low, well he gets a high risk factor.

well, wish you luck.

Has anyone used Hoodia with any success?

Its a slimming product made from an african cactus plant

That is just a scam to get your money. Now I’m not saying that the FDA is always right but they’ve been investigating several known companies that made promises of weight loss with their pills and at least a few of them have Hoodia as an ingredient in the pills. I would just try exercising and try to work out what would be sensible/healthy eating(in terms of calories and number of meals per day;also,what foods you think would help you that you could eat and foods that you shouldn’t eat.) Really,the problem(myself included)is continuing the changes we make even after you reach whatever your goal weight might be. Good Luck and please try not to get duped into trying any quick weight-loss things like diet pills,etc.
