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.

View allI'm trying to figure out if my ECG looks normal or if I should see someone about it. Could you help me understand what's going on with the T waves in leads II, III, aVF, V3, V4, V5, and V6? I'm feeling really anxious about this.
Abnormal T waves in leads II, III, aVF, V3, V4, V5, and V6 can indicate various cardiac conditions. It is important to further evaluate these findings to determine the underlying cause. In some cases, abnormal T waves can be a sign of ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other cardiac issues. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

My 60-year-old mom has a blockage in her main heart artery 80% blocked. We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?
