View allI'm a bit confused about the TMT and Echo results for my dad, who's 50. The Echo came back normal with an EF of 60, and the TMT showed good effort tolerance. But there were upsloping ST changes at the peak of the test. The report says it's negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. Is it normal to have these upsloping ST changes? Should I be worried about this?
The upsloping ST changes at the peak of the TMT test can be considered normal if the test is negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. It is important to correlate these findings with your father's overall clinical history and risk factors for heart disease. In this case, no further intervention may be needed based on the test results provided.

I'm dealing with this dull aching pain under my left breast, near my armpit, and it's been there for about two years now. It feels a bit better if I press on it, but it's still really painful. I was put on anxiety meds, but they haven't helped at all. What could be causing this pain and is there anything else I could try?
