I'm a bit worried because I've been diabetic for 35 years and have managed it pretty well until now, but recently, I've started experiencing this sinking feeling and episodes of fainting and dizziness. I got an ECG done and it shows some blockage. Could this be related to my diabetes, and what should I do next?

Given your 35-year history of well-managed diabetes, the recent symptoms of sinking feeling, fainting, and dizziness, along with ECG indications of blockage, suggest a potential cardiovascular issue, such as coronary artery disease or cardiac autonomic neuropathy, so consult a cardiologist to discuss further testing, like angiography or stress tests, and develop a plan to address the blockage and manage cardiovascular risk factors.

I'm a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?
A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
