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 dealing with some really scary chest pain right in the middle and opposite of my back and it's making it hard to breathe and I feel so weak. We're in complete lockdown here and I saw a pulmonologist a couple of months ago who put me on some meds like Azithral 500, Digihaler FB200, a flubloc nasal spray, cilapam ls, Clonil, and Hifenact. He said to always continue 2, 4, and 5. But yesterday it got so bad, my left chest and hand weren't working properly, so I rushed to a nearby medical place and they gave me two injections. I got an ECG and chest X-ray done, and both came back normal. I've quit smoking recently, which is good, but I can't find those meds anywhere here. Can you suggest alternatives or anything extra that might help? There's no pulmonologist around and I'm really worried.
