I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.

During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.

View allI'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
Both Olmetrack 20 mg and Olmighty 20 mg contain the same active ingredient, which is olmesartan. They belong to the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and are used to treat high blood pressure. You can switch from Olmetrack 20 mg to Olmighty 20 mg as they are equivalent in terms of effectiveness. The recommended dosage for Olmighty 20 mg would be the same as Olmetrack 20 mg, which is usually once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly after switching to ensure that it remains controlled. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

So I got my ECG results and there's an RSR pattern showing up in lead 3 only, while everything else seems normal. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal variation? Could you help me understand what this might mean?

how can i tell if my bypass surgery was successful are there any specific scans or tests that can confirm everything went well
After bypass surgery, your healthcare team will monitor your recovery and perform tests to assess the success of the procedure and overall heart health. These tests can include a coronary angiogram to check graft patency and blood flow, an echocardiogram to evaluate heart function, and cardiac CT angiography (CTA) to assess graft patency and surrounding structures
