I'm really worried about this heart murmur that was detected during my TB treatment. I completed 9 months of medication, and an echo test came back normal. But the heart murmur is still being detected. Could the TB meds be causing this? It all started when I began taking them. What should I do?

I'm really worried right now because my mom's been having chest pains. We took her to the doctor, and after doing the echo and ECG tests, they found out her ejection fraction is low, with an LVEF of 40-45. The doctor said we should wait 5 days for an angiography test, but I'm anxious. Do you think it's safe to wait that long or should we do it sooner?

Yes, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation to undergo the angiography test. This test will provide more information about the blood flow to the heart and help determine the best course of treatment for your mother's condition. Waiting for 5 days should not cause any harm, but it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and seek medical attention if there are any sudden changes or worsening of chest pain.
