I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a really low heart rate. It gets worse when I lay down, almost like it becomes harder to breathe. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

View allI recently got a TMT and got the results which have left me a bit confused and concerned. The report mentions that my resting ECG is normal, and my functional capacity and heart rate response during exercise are both listed as 'appropriate'. My blood pressure response seemed to be okay too, as it says 'normal resting BP' and 'appropriate response'. I didnt experience any chest pain or arrhythmia, and there were no ST changes. However, the overall impression is marked as a 'normal stress test' but concludes with 'positive for reversible ischemia'. Should I be worried about this reversible ischemia part? What does it mean, and what should my next steps be?
Based on the findings of your TMT (Treadmill Stress Test), it appears that your overall impression is normal, but the conclusion mentions a positive result for reversible ischemia. To treat reversible ischemia, you can consider taking antiplatelet medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, along with a statin like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further ischemic events. Additionally, a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can be prescribed to help manage any underlying cardiovascular conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've recently had a TMT test done last month, and while I was on the treadmill, I started feeling really breathless and dizzy. It was kind of scary, but the doctor said the results were normal. I've got the TMT result attached. Is it common to feel like that even if the results come out okay, or should I be worried about something else?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 48 and recently started having continuous chest pain. She had a viral fever and some cough, so we initially thought it was just that, but the pain didn't go away. We went to a government hospital and the doctor there told us to do an ECG test and mentioned it was serious. But then we went to a private hospital and they said not to worry. I'm feeling confused with these mixed messages. What should I do next?
The chest pain in your mother could be due to various reasons, including cardiac issues. Since the government doctor recommended an ECG test, it is important to follow through with that recommendation to rule out any serious heart problems. If the private hospital has reassured you that there is no immediate cause for concern, it is still advisable to monitor the situation closely. In the meantime, to help alleviate the chest pain and cough, you can consider giving her a medication like **Paracetamol** for pain relief and **Cough syrup** for cough. However, it is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical advice.
