I've got an ECG report that says I have left atrial enlargement and mild left axis deviation, but my blood pressure is around 130. Should I be concerned about this?

Left atrial enlargement and mild left axis deviation on an ECG can be indicative of certain heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate these findings with additional tests such as an echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of the heart. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can be beneficial. In terms of medication, you may consider taking medications such as Losartan (50mg) to help manage blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.

Question

I'm a bit confused about the difference between a 2D echo and a stress 2D echo. Can you explain how they're different and in what situations each one might be used? Also, I've heard about coronary angiography but I'm not quite clear on what it is and why someone would need to have it done. I'm feeling a little anxious about all these procedures and would appreciate some clarity.

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 14090 is considered normal? Also, there's been this regular body pain happening. What kind of checkups would you recommend for that?
