I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having some discomfort in his left hand, and sometimes right hand, that goes up to his wrist and neck. He's 55 and has been experiencing this for the past few months. His cholesterol levels are at 225, and his blood pressure is around 13075. Do you think these could be signs of a pre-heart attack? I would really appreciate any advice.

These symptoms could indeed be concerning for potential heart issues. It is important to act promptly. I recommend that your father take Aspirin 81mg immediately to help prevent blood clot formation. Additionally, he should take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief of chest pain or discomfort. It is crucial to seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible.

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?

Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...
