I'm trying to understand my recent ECG results from a health check-up. The impression mentioned something called 803 sinus arrhythmia. Can someone explain what this means? Is it something I should be worried about? And if it is a problem, what steps should I take to address it?

View allI'm really worried about something. I've been dealing with diabetes for about three years now and high blood pressure for over 15 years. For that, I've been taking losium and istamate regularly. But lately, I've been experiencing a dry cough and feeling gassy. When I went to the Baptist Hospital, they said I needed to be admitted to the CCU and they ran some tests like ECG and blood tests, which came back negative. They also did a TMT and an echo. During the TMT, I felt tired after the second stage when the speed increased, and they told me I might have a heart problem, suggesting an angiogram. I decided against it and got discharged instead. I'm confused and not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice on this?
It sounds like you are experiencing some side effects from your current medications. The dry cough and gas could be related to the medications you are taking for diabetes and high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing symptoms related to your heart, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching from losium to a different medication for high blood pressure to see if that helps with the cough and gas. Additionally, you may benefit from a medication adjustment for your diabetes as well. For your heart condition, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to discuss the possibility of undergoing an angiogram to assess the blood flow to your heart. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels regularly, follow a healthy diet, and engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider.

Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.
If your TMT is negative, but you're still concerned about potential blockages or symptoms, its essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more specific tests (like angiography) based on your risk factors and clinical symptoms.

I'm dealing with chronic anemia and have been experiencing shortness of breath, and chest pain too. I got an ECG done, and it showed something called STT depression. Can you explain what that is and how worried I should be about it?
ST-T depression on an ECG can indicate myocardial ischemia, which means there may be reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This can be serious as it may lead to a heart attack if not addressed. To help improve blood flow and manage your symptoms, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can take Ferrous Sulfate 325mg twice daily to help with your chronic Anemia. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
