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?

I'm really struggling to get a full night's sleep. Even if I go to bed around 12 or 1, I'll still wake up by 3 or 4 in the morning. Plus, while I'm sleeping, I end up sweating a lot just under my head. I've got this constant worry in the back of my mind that I'm going to have a heart attack. Is there something wrong?

I'm a bit worried about my ECG results that I attached. Is there anything serious I should be concerned about? I noticed the T axis is at 1. Can you give me some advice on what this might mean?

Based on the information provided, a T axis of 1 in an ECG is within normal limits and is not typically considered a serious issue. However, it is important to consider the entire ECG report and any symptoms you may be experiencing for a comprehensive evaluation. If you have any concerns, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further assessment and guidance.

I keep waking up with chest pain in the morning. I've already had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and everything came back normal. I'm currently taking acidity tablets. Sometimes I even feel a pinning sensation in my chest. Do you have any advice on how I can make this pain go away?
