My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?

View allI had this sudden pain on the left side of my chest last night, and it kind of felt like there was pressure in my throat too. It went away after about 15-30 minutes, but theres still a bit of chest pain lingering. Any idea what might be going on? Im really worried.
Based on your description, it is possible that you may have experienced a muscle strain or inflammation in your chest wall, known as costochondritis. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the chest that may worsen with movement or deep breathing. It is usually not serious and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) taken at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out more serious conditions such as a heart problem.

I'm really worried because I'm experiencing this pressure in my chest along with some severe back pain. I also feel lightheaded, nauseous, and dizzy most of the time. Climbing stairs makes it worsemy heart races, and it's hard to catch my breath. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned?

I'm really concerned about this irregular heartbeat I've been experiencing for the past three days. It feels like it's taking jerks, and sometimes it seems to get worse. Additionally, I've had a cough for the past two days. I'm worried and wondered if these symptoms are related. Could you let me know what might be causing this and if I should be worried?
ECHO ,ECG and cardiac markers is advised .Kindly review in cardio opd.
