Can someone explain what's going on with my mom's ECG report? The doctor said it's abnormal, and we need to do a TMT test in a month. They've given us some meds, but I really want to understand what's up. Any insights?

While I can't view attachments, an abnormal ECG can indicate several potential issues, such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or abnormalities in the heart's structure. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendation to perform a TMT (treadmill test) as it will provide more information about how your mother's heart functions under physical stress. The prescribed medications are likely aimed at managing her condition in the meantime. Please ensure she follows her treatment plan and consults her healthcare provider if any new symptoms arise.

View allI'm really worried because my diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90 or higher, even though my systolic is usually between 120 and 130. I've had a renal scan and tests for creatinine and urine protein, and everything came back normal. What could be causing this high diastolic pressure when everything else seems fine?
Given your high diastolic blood pressure (90+ mmHg) and normal systolic pressure (120-130 mmHg), along with normal renal scan, creatinine, and urine protein results, consider lifestyle modifications to manage blood pressure: increase physical activity, reduce sodium intake, follow the DASH diet, manage stress through relaxation techniques, get adequate sleep (7-8 hours), and maintain a healthy weight
