I've been having some health issues that are making me anxious. My ECG today showed a low T wave in V4 and a slight ST depression in V6. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm a bit worried about it. I also tend to get high blood pressure sometimes, and my lipid and cortisol levels are up. What can I do about all this? Should I be getting any more tests done?

Based on your ECG findings of low T wave in V4 and slight ST depression in V6, along with your history of anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. I recommend you to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and management plan. Further tests that may be recommended include: 1. Stress test (Treadmill test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity. 2. Echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of your heart. 3. Holter monitor or event monitor to monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 4. Blood tests to assess your cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and other cardiac markers. In the meantime, it is important to manage your anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels. You can consider medications such as Atorvastatin for high cholesterol, Amlodipine for high blood pressure, and Alprazolam for anxiety. However, the specific dosage and duration of these medications should be determined by your healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.

My mom's blood pressure is high, around 180100, and we went to see two different doctors. One gave her cilacar 10, and the other suggested telmipil am 405. I'm really confused about which one she should take. Any thoughts on which might be more effective or better for her condition?
