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 a 28-year-old male, and I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. It's been about a week now, and I'm starting to find that I'm having a bit of trouble with breathing and noticing my heartbeat more. Sometimes it feels like my heart skips a beat, and occasionally I feel like my heart is struggling to pump. What kind of diet and exercise would be good for my condition?
For grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, it is important to focus on a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise routine. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. Limit your intake of sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars. Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption. For exercise, aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming. Additionally, include strength training exercises at least twice a week to improve overall cardiovascular health. As for your symptoms of difficulty in breathing, feeling your heartbeat, and heart palpitations, it is important to monitor your condition closely. If these symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm 58 and was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure a few years back. I've been on lipisafe Nebilong 5mg and telcad 40 since then. It's been working because my levels are under control now, but for a while, I've been having this annoying chest pain and some joint and muscle aches. I don't know if it's the meds or something else. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
