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'm recovering from Covid and sometimes I feel my heart racing, so my doctor wants me to get some tests done. I've already finished my ECG and Echo, and I'm wearing this Holter monitor today. Do I need to just hang out at home and keep an eye on things, or can I go about my normal day, like going to work, having meetings, and driving around? If keeping up with my usual routine is doable, is it necessary or could I just relax at home if I wanted to? Let me know what you think!
While the Holter machine is fitted on your body, it is recommended to continue your regular daily activities as usual. You can go to the office, attend meetings, drive, and carry on with your daily routine. There is no need to stay at home and observe yourself during the Holter monitoring. It is important to maintain your usual activities to get an accurate representation of your heart's activity throughout the day. Thank you for providing the information.

I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?
Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.
