I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

View allI'm a bit confused and worried right now. My ECG report showed 206uV in the aVR lead with some ST elevation, but both the echostress test and MRI came back normal. The doctor told me that everything's fine, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand why there might be an elevation in the ECG, even when other tests seem normal?
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have ST elevation in AVR on your ECG report, but your echo, stress test, and MRI results are normal. If your doctor has reassured you that you are fine, you may not need any specific treatment at the moment. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups and monitoring. If you experience any new symptoms or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately."

I'm really concerned about my heart health right now. My ejection factor is 38, and my doctor recommends I get an angiogram. But to be honest, I'm pretty scared about going through that procedure. Is there any other way to help improve my heart ejection factor? For context, I dont have any bad habits, weigh 68 kg, and am 6 feet tall. Any advice would really help me out.

I'm experiencing something odd and could use some advice. Lately, when I wake up and start walking, it feels like my heart is racing, and I get a bit breathlessbut only the first time. If I lie back down for a bit and then walk again, I feel completely normal. Is this something I should worry about in terms of my heart? I've had an ECG and a 2D Echo, and they both came back normal. I also saw a pulmonologist, and all tests were fine. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and 2D Echo results, as well as the evaluation by a pulmonologist, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart issue or a pulmonary problem. It is possible that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and standing up slowly to allow your body to adjust to the change in position. In some cases, medications like Fludrocortisone or Midodrine may be prescribed to help manage orthostatic hypotension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
