I'm dealing with chronic anemia and have been experiencing shortness of breath, and chest pain too. I got an ECG done, and it showed something called STT depression. Can you explain what that is and how worried I should be about it?

ST-T depression on an ECG can indicate myocardial ischemia, which means there may be reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This can be serious as it may lead to a heart attack if not addressed. To help improve blood flow and manage your symptoms, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can take Ferrous Sulfate 325mg twice daily to help with your chronic Anemia. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?
