I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm really worried about my recent ECG showing a slight ST depression in V5. I've been dealing with anxiety and some gastric issues. I've had previous tests like an ECG treadmill, and both my troponin I and T were normal. Should I be concerned about these new findings?
Slight ST depression in V5 on ECG can sometimes be seen in patients with anxiety and gastric issues. Since your previous ECG, treadmill test, and troponin I levels were normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Pantoprazole 40mg once a day for gastric issues and medications like Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety.

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past five months, and it's really starting to worry me. I get dizzy, have blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain too. The weird thing is, sometimes my blood pressure shoots up after I eat. I'm a 26-year-old female, weighing 90 kg with a height of 5'9". My thyroid tests are normal, but I've been on losakindh 25 mg for about three months, and it doesn't seem to be helping anymore. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I could try next?
It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with Losakind-H 25 mg anymore. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5 mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can consider adding a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg once daily to further control your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
