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?

I've been dealing with moderate hypertension since I got diagnosed with a BP of 168122 on December 18th, and I've been put on Telma 40. But for the past three days, I've been having this awful headache and pain in my cheek, only on the left side of my face. My blood pressure is still at 150115 even though I've been taking the medicine for these three days. Should I be concerned about this, and what should I do next?
Given your recent diagnosis of moderate hypertension and the current blood pressure readings of 150115 despite taking Telma 40 (telmisartan), it is essential to address this promptly. Your persistent headache and left-sided cheek pain might indicate uncontrolled hypertension, which can lead to severe complications if not managed appropriately. Firstly, I recommend you seek immediate medical attention to evaluate your symptoms. Your healthcare provider might need to adjust your blood pressure medication or add additional antihypertensive agents to better control your blood pressure. They may also want to investigate the cause of your headache and cheek pain to rule out other potential issues, such as sinusitis or trigeminal neuralgia. In the meantime, continue taking your medication as prescribed and avoid any activities that could elevate your blood pressure further. Please contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss these symptoms.

I'm feeling a bit worried because my ECG came back showing an abnormal sinus rhythm and something about an STT abnormality in V5V6. The report also mentioned left ventricular hypertrophy, and I've been experiencing dizziness and fatigue on and off. Just last Friday, my blood pressure was 150110, but then it dropped to 110130 by Sunday. Does this combination of symptoms and results suggest something serious that I should be concerned about, or could there be a more straightforward explanation? What should my next steps be?
Your ECG results indicate abnormal findings, including ST-T abnormalities in leads V5 and V6, suggesting possible myocardial ischemia or strain, and left ventricular hypertrophy, which may be related to high blood pressure, and your symptoms of dizziness and fatigue, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings (150110), suggest that you should consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management to rule out underlying conditions like hypertension, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy.
