I'm really worried about my mom. She's 55 and during her recent health check-up, the TMT showed she's mildly positive for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned that she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a maximum METS of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 bpm to a max of 164 bpm, which is 99% of her predicted maximum for her age. Plus, her resting BP was 12078 mmHg and it went up to 15090 mmHg. Can you help me understand what all this means and how serious it might be?

It's possible that your high heart rate and sleep problems are related to your recent septoplasty surgery, although it's not the only possibility. Both could be influenced by factors related to the surgery, such as the recovery process or any underlying issues addressed by the procedure
