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 a 44-year-old male and I just went through a health check-up with a pretty comprehensive package. Most of my results like the CBC, kidney function, lung X-ray, ESR, creatinine, blood urea, liver function, plasma glucose, HbA1c, hormone levels, thyroid assay, and urine routine came back normal. But I'm a bit concerned because my lipid profile and ECG came back with some differences, and two values in the lipid profile were highlighted in bold. I'm attaching those reports here. Could you let me know if there's anything I should be worried about or if everything's alright? What steps should I take next? Your help would be really appreciated.
Based on the information provided, your lipid profile and ECG results are of concern. The two bold parameters in the lipid profile may indicate high cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of heart disease. For this, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. As for the ECG, it would be best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and interpretation of the results. They may recommend additional tests or treatments based on their assessment. Overall, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for a more detailed analysis and personalized treatment plan.
