I've been having this pain in the heart area of my chest for over three months now, and it happens about twice a week. I haven't been doing any kind of exercise recently. I'm starting to get really worried about it. Could this be something I should be concerned about? What might be causing this, and what should I do?

View allI recently got a TMT and got the results which have left me a bit confused and concerned. The report mentions that my resting ECG is normal, and my functional capacity and heart rate response during exercise are both listed as 'appropriate'. My blood pressure response seemed to be okay too, as it says 'normal resting BP' and 'appropriate response'. I didnt experience any chest pain or arrhythmia, and there were no ST changes. However, the overall impression is marked as a 'normal stress test' but concludes with 'positive for reversible ischemia'. Should I be worried about this reversible ischemia part? What does it mean, and what should my next steps be?
Based on the findings of your TMT (Treadmill Stress Test), it appears that your overall impression is normal, but the conclusion mentions a positive result for reversible ischemia. To treat reversible ischemia, you can consider taking antiplatelet medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, along with a statin like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further ischemic events. Additionally, a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can be prescribed to help manage any underlying cardiovascular conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently got my Lipoprotein a test results back, and it shows Lpa 47.2. I'm wondering if this is considered a normal range or if I should be thinking about medication. Can you help me understand what this means for my health?
A Lipoprotein (a) level of 47.2 mgdL is considered within the normal range. However, it is important to consider other risk factors for cardiovascular disease as well. To help maintain a healthy level of Lipoprotein (a) and reduce the risk of heart disease, you can consider taking medications such as Atorvastatin at a dosage of 10-80 mg daily or Rosuvastatin at a dosage of 5-40 mg daily. It is recommended to discuss with your healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your overall health profile.
