My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.

View allI've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?
You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because my ECG test came back with something called Diagnosed402 pre-excitement syndrome. Is this dangerous? I'm also dealing with hypothyroidism, high eosinophils, and an increased red blood cell count. Can you shed some light on what all this means for my health?
Your ECG findings of pre-excitation syndrome (WPW syndrome) can sometimes lead to dangerous arrhythmias, especially in the presence of other medical conditions like hypothyroidism, elevated eosinophils, and high RBC count. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. For pre-excitation syndrome, medications like **Procainamide** can be used to control arrhythmias. However, in some cases, a procedure called catheter ablation may be recommended to correct the abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. For hypothyroidism, you may need to take **Levothyroxine** to replace the deficient thyroid hormone. Elevated eosinophils may indicate allergies or parasitic infections, and treatment with antihistamines or anti-parasitic medications may be necessary. High RBC count can be managed by addressing the underlying cause, such as dehydration or lung disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm worried because my homocysteine levels are really high, like around 58.9, but my blood pressure is normal and I don't have diabetes. What steps should I take or things should I consider at this point?
High homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. I recommend taking a tablet of Fol-5 Plus once daily, which contains the appropriate combination of these vitamins to help lower homocysteine levels. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise can also help in reducing homocysteine levels.
