I'm a bit worried after getting some tests done. I had an ECG yesterday due to some mild chest pain, and it showed abnormal inferolateral ischemia. Then I went through a TMT, and it came out borderline positive for inducible myocardial ischemia at 10.1 Mts. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something I need to be really concerned about?

Based on the findings of infrolateral ischemia on the ECG and borderline positive result on the TMT for myocardial ischemia, I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart issues. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

View allHow do I know if my chest pain is serious?
Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit. Sometimes, atypical presentation like a person who had mild chest pain with vomiting was tested and found to be having a heart attack on ECG. Hence, every chest pain need a doctor's consultation.

I'm experiencing this strange pressure on my chest every time I yawn, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. There's also some pressure on my neck. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help with the chest pressure and vomiting sensation. You can also try taking an H2 blocker like Zantac or Pepcid to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I'm really worried about my dad. We live in Hyderabad, and he said he had a mild heart attack last night. He felt numbness on the left side of his body, chest pain, and had a tough time breathing until he took a pill, all of which lasted for about 30 seconds. He's diabetic, and just yesterday, his blood sugar was 160 before lunch and 255 after. Plus, he recently had gangrene, which led to his left leg's middle finger being amputated. Now, he's got a throat infection, and he's finding it hard to speak clearly. With all this going on, should we see a cardiologist and possibly get him admitted to the hospital, or is it okay to stick with the meds his previous cardiologist gave him?
It sounds like your father may have experienced a mild heart attack based on the symptoms you described. Given his medical history of diabetes, recent amputation due to gangrene, and current throat infection, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. I recommend consulting a cardiologist and getting him admitted to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, continue the medications prescribed by his previous cardiologist. It is crucial to address his heart health in light of these recent symptoms and medical conditions.
