I'm really worried after getting my TMT test results from last month. It mentioned something about being mildly positive for provocable ischemia. Because of this, my term insurance got rejected, and I'm not sure if this is something serious. Could you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

A mildly positive provocable ischemia test indicates temporary heart muscle reduced blood flow. Consult a cardiologist to:
Immediate Steps
- Discuss test results and concerns.
- Undergo additional tests (e.g., echocardiogram, stress echocardiogram) for further evaluation.
- Address potential risk factors (e.g., hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking).
Potential Next Steps
- Medications to manage risk factors.
- Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management).
- Re-evaluation after 3-6 months.
Term Insurance Options
- Appeal the rejection with additional medical reports.
- Consider alternative insurance providers.
- Explore group insurance plans.
For personalized guidance, consult:
- Cardiologist
- Insurance expert
- Primary care physician

View allI'm a bit worried because my husband recently had his routine health check-up and his blood pressure was at 11070 mmHg with a pulse rate of 66 bpm. He's only 30 years old, so I'm concerned that these numbers might be too low. Could you suggest why this might be happening and what we could do about it?
Low blood pressure and pulse rate in a young individual can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, heart conditions, or being physically fit. It is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, he can increase his salt and fluid intake to help raise his blood pressure. He should also ensure he is well-hydrated and consider consuming caffeine in moderation to help increase his pulse rate. If symptoms persist, he should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and I was initially thinking it was because of a cough, but now I'm not so sure. Should I be worried? It's really concerning, and I'd like to understand what might be causing this if it's not related to coughing. Could it be something more serious? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...
