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.

Yes its is due to fluctating tsh levels. U may repeat angio after 6 months.

View allI'm a bit confused and worried about my recent blood pressure readings and echo results. Usually, my BP is around 9070, but recently it's been up to 11090 or 11085, and then the cardiologist recorded it as 13090. My echocardiography showed a trace of AR and grade I LV diastolic dysfunction, yet the doctor said everything looked normal. Is it possible that this grade I LV diastolic dysfunction happened just because of my elevated BP at the time, and could it potentially go back to normal by my next echo? I've never really had high BP before, and now it's sometimes at 10070 or even back to 9070 mostly. Just trying to make sense of all this.

My uncle is scheduled for CABG surgery this week and we're really worried about it. I've attached the CAG report for reference. Can you explain the benefits and risks of this surgery and what outcomes we can expect? Also, is this technique widely accepted by doctors and patients in India or are there any common issues with it? Would really appreciate your advice.

I recently got an ECG done that showed IRBBB, and after that, I had an echocardiogram and TMT, which both turned out normal. Should I be doing these tests every year? And do you know why the IRBBB showed up in my ECG? Is there any treatment I should consider for this?
Intermittent Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) is a common finding in electrocardiograms and is usually considered a benign condition, especially if other cardiac tests such as echocardiogram (echo) and exercise stress test (TMT) are normal. It is not typically associated with any symptoms or specific treatment. In your case, since your echo and TMT results were normal, there may not be a need to repeat these tests every year unless your doctor specifically recommends it based on your overall health condition. IRBBB can sometimes be a normal variant or can be associated with underlying heart conditions, so it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. If you do not have any symptoms and your other cardiac tests are normal, no specific treatment may be necessary for IRBBB. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to promote overall heart health.
