I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been told I'm obese, with a BMI of 33.4. I had an echocardiogram done about six months ago, and fortunately, everything looked normal. I'm really trying to keep an eye on my heart health, so I'm curioushow often should I be getting an echocardiogram to make sure everything stays okay?

Can someone explain what's going on with my mom's ECG report? The doctor said it's abnormal, and we need to do a TMT test in a month. They've given us some meds, but I really want to understand what's up. Any insights?
While I can't view attachments, an abnormal ECG can indicate several potential issues, such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or abnormalities in the heart's structure. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendation to perform a TMT (treadmill test) as it will provide more information about how your mother's heart functions under physical stress. The prescribed medications are likely aimed at managing her condition in the meantime. Please ensure she follows her treatment plan and consults her healthcare provider if any new symptoms arise.

I had an emergency angioplasty with one stent a year ago, and now my medications have changed. I'm now taking Aztogold once a day. I'm wondering how long I'll need to keep taking this medicine?
You should continue taking Atorvastatin (Aztogold) as prescribed by your doctor. It is commonly recommended to take statins like Atorvastatin long-term to help manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart complications. The duration of treatment may vary depending on your individual health condition and risk factors. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with Atorvastatin.
