My dad recently had an ECG which turned out normal, but his TMT results showed positive for exercise-induced ischemia. I'm quite worried because his hemoglobin level is really low at 8.8. Do you think he needs an angiogram? I'm not sure what the best next steps are, and would appreciate your guidance.

Correct anemia first then can think to do stress echocardiography....to confirm..but If there are any risk facters like diabetes and hypertension or smoking or obesity or family history & inactive lifestyle...& symptoms of chest pain or breathing difficulty, angiography should be done Anyways need insight on all these & need to see the TMT strips to suggest the next best step.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Telpres 40 for her blood pressure, but it's still 170100. It's been sticking around 150100 for a while now. I'm not sure what to do, could you give some advice?
Along with telpres 40 other medicines need to be added, after clinical evaluation.

I've been having this weird feeling where my heart skips a beat, and it's making me uneasy. I recently saw a cardiologist, and he checked my echo test report and said everything looked fine. The sensation goes away when I sleep and feels okay in the morning, but it suddenly starts again when I'm lying down. Could you help me figure out what's going on or what I should do about it?
mostly no need to fear since echo is normal consult psychiatist if it stil persists
