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'm really worried about my dad. He's 77 and has been having this on-and-off chest pain right in the middle. We just got his ECG done and it showed some abnormalities in the T wave. We're supposed to get an echo done tomorrow. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious?

Hey, I just got my recent blood work back, and it's got me a bit concerned. My HDL is at 30 and LDL is really high at 240. Should I be alarmed by these numbers? I've started watching my diet about a week ago to boost my HDL and lower my LDL, but I'm wondering if that'll really make a difference. What should I expect in terms of improvement? Would love some guidance on what else I should be doing.
To help improve your HDL and lower your LDL levels, you can continue with your proper diet and also consider medication if necessary. For increasing HDL, you can try incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. To lower LDL, you can focus on a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and high in fiber. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) to help lower your LDL levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My dad had a heart attack recently and the doctor suggested he needs an angiography. I'm really worried and wonder what we should expect from this procedure. Is it risky, or are there any side effects we should be aware of? How soon should he have it done, and is there anything specific we need to prepare for before the angiography?
After a heart attack, angiography is often recommended to assess the extent of blockages in the coronary arteries. This procedure can help determine the best course of treatment. Your father may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, and Atorvastatin to prevent further complications and manage his heart health. The dosage and duration of these medications will be determined by his doctor based on his individual condition.
