I'm really concerned about the results of my ECG. It mentioned something about Interior Ischemia and an abnormal T wave. I'm not exactly sure what that means or how serious it is. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are for this situation? Should I be worried?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For Inferior Ischemia with abnormal T-wave on ECG, treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as coronary artery disease, and may include medications like beta blockers, nitrates, and antiplatelet agents, as well as lifestyle changes, and potentially invasive procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), under the guidance of a cardiologist.

View allI've been experiencing this chest heaviness and occasional pain on the left side, especially when I'm walking or lifting something heavy on that side. It's got me a bit worried, even though I had an ECG, echo, and treadmill test done earlier this year, and they all came back normal. Im 33, and my BMI is 24. I make sure to walk for 30 minutes daily. My LDL cholesterol is 131, total cholesterol is 198, HDL is 49, and triglycerides are at 89. Does everything seem alright with these numbers, or should I be concerned about these symptoms?
While your ECG, echo, and TMT results from earlier this year are normal, the chest heaviness and pain you experience while walking or lifting heavy weights on the left side should not be ignored. Your lipid profile shows slightly elevated LDL cholesterol at 131 mgdL, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but your total cholesterol and triglycerides are within acceptable ranges. Although these findings are somewhat reassuring, persistent symptoms warrant further evaluation. Consider following up with a cardiologist to discuss these symptoms and possibly repeat or conduct additional tests. Managing cholesterol through diet, exercise, and possibly medication, as well as continuing regular physical activity, is essential. Given your symptoms, it's crucial to ensure there is no underlying cardiovascular issue.

I'm 27 and just found out I have high cholesterol. My LDL was 190, HDL was 40, total cholesterol hit 280, and triglycerides were at 90. My B12 levels were at 80. The doctor had me on Crestor 20 mg for a few months, which got my LDL back to normal, but it messed with my SGPT and SGOT levels. Then I switched to Prelipid and my cholesterol levels stabilized, but I've been having muscle pain and anxiety with it. Also, my family's got a history of high cholesterol. I've been playing lawn tennis regularly for the past few years and I really dont love the idea of staying on medication forever. Once I stop taking them, my cholesterol spikes again. Is there any way I can manage my cholesterol without being on meds for life? Would really appreciate some advice on if these medications are a must or if there's something else I can try!
u have to continue with tab crestor 20 mg at bedtime continuosly ,and recheck the lipid panel once in 3 months, better to continue with the medications.Regular aerobic exercises, protein diet is advised.Alcholol and smoking cessation is needed.Also use of butter and ghee is not advised
