I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidance on this.

Heart pumping reduce to 30% can be a serious condition and may require medical intervention. To improve heart function and manage symptoms, I would recommend starting with medication such as Carvedilol at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily, along with Lisinopril at a dosage of 10mg once daily. These medications can help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. In addition to medication, regular exercise, such as yoga, can also be beneficial. Yoga can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart muscles. Poses such as the Mountain Pose, Warrior Pose, and Bridge Pose can be particularly helpful. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it is safe for your condition.

I've recently come across my TMT results, which show a mildly positive reaction with horizontal ST depression up to 2mm in some leads, but it normalizes quickly in recovery. My echo came out normal, and I don't smoke, drink, or have any early CAD fam...

Given your history of chest painpressure, especially with brisk walking, and the findings on your recent TMT showing mildly positive results with horizontal ST depression, it is important to consider the possibility of coronary artery disease (CAD) even in the absence of traditional risk factors. The fact that the ST depression normalizes within 15 seconds of recovery is somewhat reassuring, but further evaluation is warranted. Considering your symptoms and history of anxiety, it is also possible that the chest pain you are experiencing could be related to anxiety. However, it is crucial not to dismiss the possibility of CAD, especially with the new onset of localized chest pain and your TMT results. Given your overall profile and symptoms, I would recommend further evaluation by a cardiologist. They may consider additional tests such as a coronary angiogram to assess the extent of any possible blockages. In the meantime, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or become more frequent. In terms of medication, based on your lipid profile, a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (10-20mg) may be considered to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of CAD progression. Additionally, medications to manage anxiety such as Escitalopram (10mg) may be prescribed to help alleviate your symptoms. It is important to address both the cardiac and psychological aspects of your symptoms to ensure a comprehensive treatment approach.
