I'm 34 years old and during my routine check-up, the TMT report came back positive. But according to the echo, there's no blockage. My blood pressure before the TMT was 10060. The report also mentioned hypochromic anemia. Can you help me understand what all this means and what I should do next?

"Based on your TMT report showing a positive result and the presence of hypochromic anemia, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can start taking a daily low dose of aspirin to help prevent blood clots. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as atorvastatin to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is also important to address the hypochromic anemia by taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg daily to help increase your red blood cell count. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive treatment plan."

View allI'm really worried about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is now 273 and my LDL cholesterol is at 191, which has gone up from 180. My TcholHDL ratio has also increased to 6.5, and it used to be lower. The LDLHDL ratio is now 4.5, and it was around 2.5 before. My non-HDL cholesterol is 230.92. With all these numbers going up, am I at risk? What should I do to bring everything back to normal? Also, my triglycerides have improved a bit, now at 182 from 305, but I'm still concerned. Would appreciate some guidance.
Your cholesterol levels indicate that you are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. To help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, medication may be prescribed by your doctor to help manage your cholesterol levels. For your high LDL cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage recommended by your healthcare provider. This medication helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. To improve your cholesterol ratios and overall lipid profile, you can also discuss with your doctor about taking Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a suitable dosage. Fenofibrate helps lower triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol levels, which can further reduce your cardiovascular risk. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.

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?
