I recently got a TMT and got the results which have left me a bit confused and concerned. The report mentions that my resting ECG is normal, and my functional capacity and heart rate response during exercise are both listed as 'appropriate'. My blood pressure response seemed to be okay too, as it says 'normal resting BP' and 'appropriate response'. I didnt experience any chest pain or arrhythmia, and there were no ST changes. However, the overall impression is marked as a 'normal stress test' but concludes with 'positive for reversible ischemia'. Should I be worried about this reversible ischemia part? What does it mean, and what should my next steps be?
Based on the findings of your TMT (Treadmill Stress Test), it appears that your overall impression is normal, but the conclusion mentions a positive result for reversible ischemia. To treat reversible ischemia, you can consider taking antiplatelet medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, along with a statin like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further ischemic events. Additionally, a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can be prescribed to help manage any underlying cardiovascular conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because I recently did a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and I was told I have tachycardia. All my other tests like the ECG, echo, and X-ray came back normal, which is a bit confusing. The doctor mentioned that my tachycardia might be due to anxiety since sometimes I experience palpitations and have trouble breathing. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Zapiz 0.25mg for my anxiety every other day or if there might be any side effects I should worry about. Any advice would be appreciated.
Zapiz 0.25mg is a brand name for Clonazepam, which is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders. However, it is important to note that Clonazepam is typically not recommended for daily, long-term use due to the risk of tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms. It is best to use it on an "as-needed" basis for anxiety symptoms. For your palpitations and difficulty breathing related to anxiety, your doctor may consider prescribing a different type of medication such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) for long-term management of anxiety. These medications are less likely to cause dependence compared to Clonazepam. I recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for managing your anxiety symptoms and to address any concerns about potential side effects of Zapiz 0.25mg.
