I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?

To get a complete picture of the functioning of the heart, it is recommended to also do a lipid profile and a hemogram in addition to TMT (Treadmill Test) and 2D Echo. Lipid profile helps to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are important risk factors for heart disease. Hemogram provides information about the overall health of the individual, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and platelet count, which can also impact heart health. Therefore, including a lipid profile and hemogram along with TMT and 2D Echo can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the heart's functioning.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure. I take Telma 20 every day, but it's still high at 150100. If I eat out, it shoots up to around 170110. What can I do to bring it down to normal levels?

I'm a bit concerned about my latest ECG report and I was hoping you could help me understand it better. The QRS is 74 ms, the QTQTc Baz is 326420 ms, PR is 110 ms, P is 84, and the RRPP is 602600 ms. It also mentions PQrsT at 567627 degrees. Is there anything in there that I should be worried about? I've attached my cholesterol report too, if that helps give a clearer picture.

I'm really worried about some health stuff. I recently took a test that showed mild PAH, and I'm wondering if that's something I need to be concerned about. Ever since I moved to India from Australia, my anxiety has gotten really bad. I've had a pulse of 134 a few times, especially during the lockdown and just yesterday because I was so tense. I'm 33, 4 ft 8 in, and weigh 44 kilos. I eat really healthily, avoiding processed foods and carbs. Should I be worried about these things or am I overthinking it?
