Is it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery? The test said mildly positive for RMI, and I reached my target heart rate. I did Bruce stage 3 for about 8.09 minutes. My blood pressure is normal resting at 12080 and after exercise, it was 14080. I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?

I'm a bit worried because my husband recently had his routine health check-up and his blood pressure was at 11070 mmHg with a pulse rate of 66 bpm. He's only 30 years old, so I'm concerned that these numbers might be too low. Could you suggest why this might be happening and what we could do about it?
