I'm wondering if having sinus tachycardia can be the reason I'm experiencing shortness of breath. Like, when I start walking, my heart rate jumps to around 150 bpm, and it also causes me to feel out of breath at night. Could these be connected?

Question

I had my ECG done today, and the report showed some abnormalities. My doctor mentioned that everything was normal, but I'm confused. What should I do now?

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?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom who's 62. She recently had some chest pain, and her ECG came out abnormal. We consulted with a cardiologist, and they did a TMT test, which was strongly positive. She's also had an echo test done. Now we've been told she needs to go for a CAG angiogram test. I'm just trying to understand how serious her condition might be. Could there be a severe blockage? What do these tests tell us about her heart health?
