I'm trying to understand the seriousness of some heart blockages that were reported. Can you explain what level of concern is typical for this kind of issue? Is there any immediate action I should be thinking about?

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!"

I'm really worried about this whole ECG report thing. It showed some ST segment downslope depression during my pre-employment medical exam. Then I did an echocardiogram with a color doppler test, and it shows DRA grade 1 with this E wave A wave stuff, whatever that means. There's no RWMA but the systolic is normal. The doctor didn't give me any meds except for blood pressure medicine. Is it really okay? What does this all mean? Would love some guidance on this.
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have a normal ECG with ST segment downslope depression and a Doppler test showing DRA grade 1 with Ewave> A wave, no RWMA, and normal systolic function. Since your doctor has only prescribed blood pressure medication, it indicates that there are no significant cardiac issues requiring specific treatment at the moment. However, to further support your heart health, you can consider taking a low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily for its cardioprotective benefits. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial. It's important to continue regular follow-ups with your doctor for monitoring and guidance."
