I'm a bit confused about my recent echo reports. The first one mentioned mild MR and MVP, but when I went to another hospital for a second opinion, they only found mild MR, no MVP. What should I do next? Should I be concerned about this discrepancy?

To confirm the presence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist. In the meantime, for mild mitral regurgitation (MR), you can take medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the condition. It is also important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really confused about my ECG results. It said there was a downslope in the ST segment and T wave inversion, and they mentioned something about infero-lateral ischaemia. When I went for a pre-employment medical exam, I had an echocardiogram and a color Doppler test, and the doctor said not to worry but didn't prescribe any medication. I'm not sure what to do next. Is there actually ischaemia, or is everything okay?

the ST segment downslope and T wave inversion indicate infero lateral Ischaemia. Since you have already undergone an ECHOCARDIOGRAM and color Doppler test, and the doctor mentioned that there is nothing to worry about, it is likely that the Ischaemia is not severe and does not require immediate medication. However, it is important to follow up with regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about a TMT test I did a couple of days ago. The results came back as a normal stress test, but while reaching a 100 heart rate during the test, I experienced some mild dizziness that lasted for about 2 minutes. It was manageable and got better after I rested. I could walk and move around fine afterward, but I had a mild headache for the rest of the day. The next day, I felt completely okay, and there were no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal for TMT results? Please check my report and advise.

Based on your description and the results of your TMT test showing a normal stress test with no inducible ischemia, it is reassuring that there are no significant cardiac issues detected. The mild and manageable dizziness you experienced towards the end of the test may have been due to the physical exertion during the test, which is not uncommon. It is good to hear that the symptoms resolved after resting and that you were able to walk and move without any difficulty. The mild headache you experienced throughout the day could also be related to the physical stress of the test. It is positive that you felt completely alright the next day and that no other symptoms occurred. I would recommend staying hydrated and getting adequate rest. If you experience similar symptoms during physical exertion in the future, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. Overall, based on the information provided, there does not appear to be a significant concern, but it is always important to listen to your body and seek medical advice if needed."
