I'm a bit concerned because my ECG results show an inversion in lead 3 and AVF. I don't really have any pain, but I do have high blood pressure. My exercise treadmill test (ETT) came back negative, and my echocardiogram is normal too. So, what's causing these inverted T waves, and should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The inversion of T waves in lead 3 and aVF on your ECG could be due to various reasons, including but not limited to hypertension. Since your exercise tolerance test (ETT) is negative and your echocardiogram is normal, it is less likely to be related to coronary artery disease. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure closely and make sure it is well controlled. In this case, medications like Amlodipine 5mg once daily can be prescribed to help manage your high blood pressure and potentially improve the T wave inversion. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your condition.

I'm a bit worried about my dad's blood pressure. He got it checked today just for a routine check-up and it was 144100. He's 53 and doesn't have any medical conditions. He's pretty active and walks 2 to 3 km every day. Is this blood pressure range okay for his age, or should he start taking medication to control it? What do you suggest?
Your father's blood pressure reading of 144100 mmHg is considered stage 2 hypertension, which is above the normal range for his age; given his active lifestyle and lack of underlying medical conditions, lifestyle modifications such as increasing physical activity, reducing sodium intake, and stress management should be attempted first, before considering medication
