I've been experiencing this weird right chest pain for the past three days, and it's been bothering me quite a bit. It even seems to make my hand hurt, which is really concerning. I'm not sure what's causing this discomfort. Could it be something serious, or is it just some kind of acdt problem? I'm not really familiar with what that means. What should I do?

I'm a bit confused about the TMT and Echo results for my dad, who's 50. The Echo came back normal with an EF of 60, and the TMT showed good effort tolerance. But there were upsloping ST changes at the peak of the test. The report says it's negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. Is it normal to have these upsloping ST changes? Should I be worried about this?
The upsloping ST changes at the peak of the TMT test can be considered normal if the test is negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. It is important to correlate these findings with your father's overall clinical history and risk factors for heart disease. In this case, no further intervention may be needed based on the test results provided.
