I have diabetes, I smoke, and I am overweight. I also have this annoying pain/sensation that keeps cropping up in my left chest area. I’m hoping this is just acid reflux.
What are your current health concerns/issues if any?

Being overweight.
I have pulsatile tinnitus.
A condition that could potentially be benign OR VERY SERIOUS
Plus, being overweight is dangerous for PCOS symptoms; it aggravates it.

I had those same 3 problems plus several others (really high cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes).
I quit smoking 13 years ago, I credit the following to quitting Olanzapine: I achieved my BMI weight about a month ago or so. My cholesterol, triglycerides and liver enzymes are all normal now.
My only remaining problem is diabetes but it is under control. For years I used to have regular A1Cs of 8 or 9, but for the last 4-5 blood tests they have been are around 6.3 so I am now pre-diabetic. My doctor said if I lose a little more weight my diabetes could go away completely, in which case I would be completely healthy. I have lost an additional 20lbs since my last blood test 6 months ago. I’m due for a blood test this month so we’ll see what the results are. I would really love an A1C of 5.5 or lower.

I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about tinnitus, people commit suicide over it. I hope yours isn’t too serious.

I have high liver enzymes since I was a kid before sz and I was skinny. Drs didn’t find a cause and said its harmless some ppl are naturally born with high liver enzymes.

Thanks, yea it could potentially be absolutely awful.
Thankfully I have a way of stopping it by positioning my head on my pillow a certain way.
But some people hear it non stop!
I’m just worried that there’s a cardiovascular cause behind the noise.
Anyways, I try to remain realistically optimistic

Yes.
They don’t like to investigate it as much as I’d like.
It’s kind of REALLY frustrating lol.
