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.

I've been dealing with anxiety and blood pressure issues and was initially on betacap tr40. My doctor switched me over to telma 20, but I started experiencing palpitations. So I saw another doctor who changed my medication to nebicard 2.5, but I'm still having those palpitations. Now, my psychiatrist is suggesting I take petril beta at night. Is it okay if I take nebicard 2.5 in the morning and petril beta at night? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure it's safe.

u have to take petril beta at night only.
