I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness.

I've been thinking about getting an infrared heating panel, but I'm worried it might mess with my pacemaker because of the electromagnetic field. The company says it actually gives off less electromagnetic static than the sun, so it shouldn't be a problem. Should I be concerned about this?
Infrared heating panels typically emit low levels of electromagnetic fields, which are unlikely to interfere with a pacemaker. However, it is always best to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for personalized advice. If you experience any unusual symptoms or concerns regarding your pacemaker while using the infrared heating panel, please seek medical attention promptly.

I've just had my routine check-up and my ECG results showed something called T wave inversion in the inferior leads. I'm a 34-year-old guy, pretty healthy overall, and I don't smoke or drink. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious?
This finding can sometimes be a normal variant, especially in young healthy individuals like yourself who do not have any symptoms or risk factors such as smoking or drinking. However, it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. If no other concerning symptoms are present, no treatment may be necessary at this time.
