  5. I'm trying to understand the results of a recent angiogram and I'd love some clarity. It mentions a right femoral arterial approach with a normal LMCA, but there's a 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD and a 50% stenosis distally in the LCX. It also says the OM has a 90% stenosis in a small vessel, and the RCA has a 40% stenosis proximally. The renal angiogram shows everything is normal for both kidneys. My biggest worry is about the critical stenosis in the LAD. What does all this mean for my heart health, and what kind of treatment or lifestyle changes should I be considering?

Mild chest pain in both the chest while resting and shoulder and back pain, ulcer and anxiety. ECG found WPW and echo normal. Doctor said nothing to worry. Symptoms are non-cardiac but in routine test TMT test came positive, conclusion in report was ST depression ischemia. My overall cholesterol is 139, HDL 33, and LDL 103. Is there some risk as per my age? What to do? I am really worried a lot. I have no pain while working or walking. Based on your symptoms and test results, it is important to address the positive TMT test with ST depression ischemia. This could indicate a risk of heart disease, especially with your cholesterol levels. To manage this condition, you can start taking a medication like Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 20mg to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related issues. Additionally, considering your anxiety and chest pain, you can take medications like Pantoprazole (Protonix) 40mg for ulcer symptoms and an anti-anxiety medication like Lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg to help with anxiety symptoms. It is also recommended to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques can also help improve your overall health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
