I had a cardiac arrest back in 2007 and they found 25% blockage after an angiography at the hospital in Mumbai. Lately, for the last 15 days or so, I've been feeling weak pretty regularly. Had a Doppler and 2D echo test done in Jodhpur recently, and the doctor told me my heart is working at only 20%. I'm really concerned about this. What should I do next?

I'm really worried about how sudden anxiety and a spike in blood pressure after getting some shocking news could cause a heart attack. Is this something that can actually happen, and how would I know if it's a real risk for me or someone I care about?

Sudden anxiety and high blood pressure can potentially increase the risk of acute cardiac events, including cardiac arrest. It is important to manage anxiety and blood pressure to reduce this risk. In such situations, medications like Atenolol can be used to control blood pressure and anxiety. The typical dosage of Atenolol for high blood pressure is 25-100 mg per day, as prescribed by a doctor.

I'm really concerned about this report I got saying there's an "abnormal ECG" with an "SCT wave abnormality" and something about "considering inferior ischemia." I'm an ASD device patient, and I'm not sure what all this means for me. Could you help explain it and let me know if I should be worried?
