I'm really worried about my mom. During her regular health checkup, they said she has a mildly positive TMT for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a max METS level of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 to a max of 164. Her blood pressure changed from 12078 to a max of 15090. They also found she has dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol of 216, HDL at 71, and LDL at 132. They advised her to take atorva and Ecospirin and to repeat the TMT after 6 months. I'm curious, is this something really serious? And does the medication usually help? Whats the next line of action after this?

I don't know about your specific medical condition without reviewing your reports. However, based on your symptoms of chest pain, pain in the left hand, and palpitations, it could be related to a heart issue. You should consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
