My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

View allI'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Yes its is due to fluctating tsh levels. U may repeat angio after 6 months.

I'm having some trouble with mild heart palpitations and anxiety, so my cardiologist put me on Telma 40 and propranolol 40 mg. The good news is my palpitations and angina are gone since starting propranolol, but now I'm experiencing some erection issues. I'm wondering, could I switch from propranolol to Nevivolol? Or would it be okay to take tadalafil along with the propranolol? Could you give me some advice on these two options?
1. Instead of Propranolol 40 mg, you can use Nebivolol. The recommended dosage for Nebivolol is 5 mg to 10 mg once daily. It is also effective in managing heart palpitations and anxiety, with a lower risk of causing erectile dysfunction compared to Propranolol. 2. You can take Tadalafil with Propranolol, but it is important to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider before combining these medications. Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, and the combination with Propranolol may help alleviate the erection problem you are experiencing. The usual starting dose of Tadalafil is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity, with a maximum frequency of once per day.

I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.
Diaphragmatic tumour,hernia,birth trauma ,surgical trauma ,thyroid disease and auto-immune disease are some of the causes..A dermatologist opinion is advised.
