I'm a bit worried about my 66-year-old mom. She's diabetic and has a resting heart rate of 80 BPM with an SPO2 level around 9798. But yesterday, after climbing two floors, her heart rate jumped to 122 BPM and her SPO2 hit 99. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm really worried about my heart health. I've been told I have mild plaque in my LAD and right artery and was diagnosed with insignificant CAD. How much plaque build-up actually needs medication? I'm trying to understand when it becomes a serious issue. Can you help clarify this for me?
In cases of insignificant coronary artery disease (CAD) with mild plaque in the LAD and right artery, medication may still be recommended to manage risk factors and prevent progression of the disease. Common medications that may be prescribed include: 1. Statins (e.g. Atorvastatin) - to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of plaque buildup. Dosage: Typically starting dose of Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily. 2. Antiplatelet agents (e.g. Aspirin) - to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. Dosage: Aspirin is often prescribed at a low dose of 75-100 mg once daily. 3. Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) - to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. Dosage: Metoprolol is commonly started at a dose of 25-50 mg once or twice daily. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustment of medications as needed.

I've been tracking my health stats lately, and my SGPT level has been at 73, SHOT level at 37, and my cholesterol is reading 211 for the past week. I'm really hoping to get these numbers to a normal range in the next 4 to 5 days. Can you give me some advice on how to make that happen?
-It's important to take a gradual approach to improving SGPT, SGOT, and cholesterol levels. In 4-5 days, it may not be realistic to achieve significant changes, but you can focus on a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regula
