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 wondering if a blood pressure reading of 78 over 140 is normal or if its on the high side. Should my dad see a doctor or maybe start some medication? Just to mention, he was feeling a bit under the weather with a common cold when the doctor measured this.
A blood pressure reading of 14078 is considered elevated and may indicate hypertension. It is advisable for your father to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Depending on the assessment, the doctor may prescribe medications such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower the blood pressure. It is important to follow up with the doctor for monitoring and adjustment of the treatment plan as needed.
