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'm feeling pretty anxious because I recently had some chest pain and my doctor recommended a CT angiography. The report mentions something about a small segment of myocardial bridging in the mid LAD. I'm really worried about what this means. Is it a big deal? Should I rush to consult a specialist, or is this something that I can keep an eye on for now? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Myocardial bridging is a condition where a segment of a coronary artery tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. In most cases, myocardial bridging is considered a benign condition and does not require any specific treatment. However, in some cases, it can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, especially during physical exertion. In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain and have already been advised angiography, it would be best to follow up with a cardiologist. They can further evaluate your condition and determine if any additional treatment or monitoring is necessary. In the meantime, you can manage your symptoms with medications like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers to help relieve chest pain.
