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.

Now hes also been experiencing some heart pain over the last four days. What precautions or steps should we be taking to address these health issues?

I've been having chest pain for the past 56 days and it started with my back. I've done an ECG three times and an ECO once. My blood pressure is 14090, and I'm on Hifen Pofloxacin 400, Ecosprin 75, Amlovas 20, and a PPI as prescribed by my physician, but the pain in my chest is still there. Sometimes it even goes to my left hand. What should I do now?
Based on your symptoms and medications, it seems like you may be experiencing chest pain due to cardiac issues. Since the pain is still persistent and sometimes radiates to your left hand, it is important to seek further medical evaluation. I recommend that you consult with your physician to consider adjusting your current medication regimen. In the meantime, you can take a nitroglycerin tablet for immediate relief of chest pain. Additionally, it would be beneficial to undergo further cardiac investigations such as a stress test or coronary angiography to rule out any underlying heart conditions.
