need reports and review

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...

Question 3

I've been having left chest pain for the past two weeks and also feel this pulsating sensation in my stomach. I'm worried because I have high blood pressure too. Initially, I was thinking of getting a 2D echo for my chest pain, but now I'm wondering if I should also get a 2D scan for my abdomen to check on my abdominal aorta. Do you think that's necessary, or should I be considering a CT scan for my stomach instead? Any advice would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

A 2D echocardiogram is primarily used to evaluate the heart, so it may not provide detailed information about the pulsating sensation in your stomach. For your stomach symptoms, a CT scan of the abdomen may be more appropriate to assess the abdominal aorta and other structures in the abdomen. Given your history of high blood pressure and chest pain, it is crucial to rule out any potential issues with the abdominal aorta. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action and to discuss the need for further imaging studies such as a CT scan of the abdomen.

I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?
