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?

View allI've been on Telmasartan 40 mg for 4 days now, and ever since, I've felt super tired and just too weak to do anything. My stomachs been feeling a bit bloated too. I've had high blood pressure and pulse for a while, like for over a year now, but Ive only been on medication for about 12 months. I'm starting to wonder if my body and heart got so used to the high blood pressure that they cant handle what's supposed to be normal. Should I stop the meds and just let my body deal with the high blood pressure, or should I stick with Telma and try to manage these side effects?
u have to continue bp medications , u cannot stop the bp medications .Salt restricted diet is advised .

I'm a little worried about my mom. She's been taking 3mg of warfarin, but her PTINR test just showed 1.27. Since she has heart issues, should we think about upping her dose to 5mg?
An INR of 1.27 indicates that the patient's blood is not clotting as well as it should be on the current dose of warfarin. For a heart patient, the target INR range is usually higher. In this case, it would be advisable to increase the dose of warfarin. I recommend increasing the dose to 4mg and then rechecking the INR in a week to see if it falls within the target range. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the warfarin dose is important to ensure the patient's blood is clotting within the desired range.

I'm really concerned about a blockage in all three arteries. I'm worried but also wondering how much time we might have to safely delay surgery. Can you provide some guidance on this?
The patient should not delay surgery if there is blockage in all three arteries at such high percentages. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent any serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. Please consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment.
