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.

View allI've been feeling really off latelyI'm a 50-year-old woman, and for the past little while, it feels like my heart is skipping a beat all the time. I've got high blood pressure and thyroid issues that I'm managing, but this heart thing is worrying me a lot. I went for a check-up two days ago, but I'm still feeling uneasy. Could it be something serious, or maybe something related to my medications or conditions? What should I do next? Im feeling a bit anxious about it.
You should have your ECG test done

I'm really concerned because my pulse rate is consistently over 100. Could this be something serious? What kind of treatments are available, and are there specific precautions I should be taking to manage this? I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice you can give.
A pulse rate consistently above 100 beats per minute is known as tachycardia. The underlying causes of tachycardia can vary, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, heart conditions, and certain medications. To treat it, you can try relaxation techniques, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the problem persists, you may need medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate. It is important to monitor your pulse regularly and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?
This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.
