I'm really worried about my dad. He just had a TMT test and they've said it's positive for inducible myocardial ischemia. I've attached the report here. Can you take a look and help me understand what's going on? What steps should we take to make sure he gets better quickly?

View allI'm a 34-year-old who doesn't smoke or drink, and I've recently found out my triglycerides level is at 367. My doctor suggested I start taking Tonact TG, but I'm worried if this medication might cause my blood sugar levels to rise. Can you let me know if I should be concerned about this?
Tonact TG contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate which are commonly used to lower triglyceride levels. Atorvastatin may slightly increase blood sugar levels in some individuals, but this effect is usually minimal. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking Tonact TG. The usual dosage for Tonact TG is 1 tablet once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage your triglyceride levels effectively.

My aunt has a heart problem and doctors recommended a heart valve replacement, including Dr Anil Bhan last year. We couldn't afford it then, but now she's admitted at SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar and her condition is serious. She has young daughters, so we really need to figure this out. Can you tell me the approximate cost for the valve replacement surgery, including hospital stay and medicines? We need to arrange funds quickly to save her life.
Heart has 4 valves in all . I would need to see a 2 D Echo and then decide what surgery and then predict appropriate cost

I've been having this chest pain that comes and goes for the past few days. It's mostly on the left side, near the center of my chest, and sometimes my breast hurts too, but they look normal. I also had this back pain between my spine and shoulder blade on the left side, but that went away, and the chest pain came back. It feels worse when I get up, like when you have an injury and start moving after resting. Any idea what could be causing this?
Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Costochondritis*: Inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone, causing left-sided chest pain. 2. *Musculoskeletal strain*: Strained muscles in the chest or back, leading to pain and discomfort. 3. *Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)*: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing chest pain and discomfort. *Treatment Options* 1. *Pain management*: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to alleviate pain and discomfort. 2. *Heat or cold therapy*: Applying heat or cold packs to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation. 3. *Muscle relaxants*: Medications like cyclobenzaprine to relax muscles and reduce pain. 4. *Antacids or acid reducers*: Medications like ranitidine or omeprazole to alleviate GERD symptoms. *Advice* 1. *Rest and relaxation*: Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous activities that may exacerbate the pain. 2. *Maintain good posture*: Avoid slouching or bending, which can put strain on your muscles and exacerbate the pain. 3. *Avoid triggers*: Identify and avoid triggers that may worsen GERD symptoms, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, or spicy foods. 4. *Monitor your symptoms*: Keep track of your symptoms, including when they occur, how long they last, and any factors that trigger or relieve them.
