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 having this continuous chest pain since morning, and I think it might be a gas lock. I had dosa this morning, but I've been struggling with this issue for about 10 days now. I've been taking homeopathy, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Could it still just be gas, or do you think it's something else? Should I consider a different treatment?

I've just been told I have an atrial septal defect that's 27mmI found out by chance at age 20. I exercise regularly, like swimming every day for 30 minutes along with doing push-ups and pull-ups. I don't have any symptoms, but I'm curious if I should get this fixed. If so, would it have to be open-heart surgery or is there another less invasive method available?
Based on the size of the atrial septal defect and your age, closure may be recommended to prevent any potential complications in the future. One common method for closing an atrial septal defect is through a minimally invasive procedure called transcatheter closure, which does not require open heart surgery. However, the decision on whether to close the defect and the choice of procedure should be discussed with a cardiologist who can evaluate your specific case in detail.

I've been noticing these splinter hemorrhages under my fingernails again, and it's making me worried. I had endocarditis when I was 16 and needed antibiotics through a pic line and heart surgery for mitral valve repair when I turned 18. I'm 23 now and these hemorrhages keep showing up just like before. I'm really concerned it could be related to my past condition. What do you think I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent splinter hemorrhages, which can be a concerning sign given your history of endocarditis and heart surgery. To address this issue, I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to evaluate the possibility of endocarditis recurrence or any other underlying causes. In the meantime, you can consider taking antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg twice daily for a week to prevent any potential infection from worsening. Additionally, maintaining good nail hygiene and avoiding trauma to the nails can help prevent further splinter hemorrhages.
