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 allI've been experiencing a burning sensation across my chest, including the areas near my armpits on both sides. I'm worried it might be related to a heart issue. Could this be the case?
The presence of a burning sensation in the chest, particularly given your history and recent exercise, could indeed be related to a cardiac issue, particularly if accompanied by other symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, or radiating pain. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any serious conditions such as angina or a heart attack. In the meantime, avoid any further physical exertion and try to stay calm. Getting evaluated by a healthcare provider will allow for necessary tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.

My mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you think it's something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.
