My mom's been dealing with Hypothyroidism, and we recently discovered that her Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies are at 230, TSH is 25, and her Phosphorus and Calcium levels are high at 8 and 10.1. Her ECG results are also abnormal, showing T Wave issues, abnormal sinus rhythm, lateral ischemia, and possible left atrial enlargement. Given all of this, should we be worried about this being an emergency or needing angioplasty, especially since she's already got hypothyroidism and kidney problems?
