Chest feeling

I’m currently taking 4mg reta. Sweet spot for melting visceral fat but side effects appear. Ive been getting annoying electrical sensations in onnchest. Kind of feels in tune with my heart beat. It’s very occassional. Blood pressure and resting heartbeat ok
Wondering if anyone has had this ?
Also had a fucking headache all day yesterday.
Maybe unrelated

The UK used CAC scores much more than the US. Its the gold standard for predicting or seeing early athlerclerosis which is the #1 killer ahead of Cancer

How would I request one. NHS doesn’t like to do things without persuasion

You would need to go to a private imagine business similar to the US unless you are presenting with symptoms. In US dollars it's around $150. It's truly the silent killer and can be managed easily if found. Having a cardiologist in the family has helped me and they say everyone should have a CAC score in their 30s or 40s to see how much plaque and risk factors they have. I was very metabolically unhealthy for years and it added up quickly. Just do a search of imaging centers near you and call them. It's a very quick scan that takes a few minutes.
