I'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm 75 years old and had bypass surgery in 1990. I've been told there's now a mild block in my artery, and I'm concerned about how to manage this. I'm also experiencing some breathing problems. Could you advise me on what steps I can take to address these issues?

For the mild blockage in your artery and breathing problem, you can take medications to help manage these conditions. 1. For the mild blockage in your artery, you can take a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of further blockages. 2. To improve your breathing, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
