I've been getting chest pain and started to feel it in the center below my chest, like where the stomach is, even though I've done ECG more than 20 times and everything seemed normal. I just had a TMT on May 31st, 2022, and I'm wondering how long the reports from that are actually valid. My LDL and HDL levels are normal, but my triglycerides are quite higharound 400. Could this high level of triglycerides be causing a blockage? Is this something heart-related that I should be worried about?

Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. Since your TMT ECG and other tests have shown normal results, it is less likely to be related to your heart. However, it is essential to consider other factors such as gastrointestinal issues or musculoskeletal pain. It would be best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. TMT ECG reports are typically valid for a few months, but it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance. High triglyceride levels, especially above 400, can increase the risk of developing blockages in the arteries over time. It is crucial to manage your triglyceride levels through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.

View allIs my EKG normal? Can you manually check the QTc levels because last time the machine got it wrong? Also, I'm confused about what non-specific ST depression means. From what I understand, ST depression is linked to a heart attack or ischemia. I've had ECGs before, but this is the first time I've seen this in the report. Could you help explain this?
Regarding the EKG, I cannot check the QTc levels manually through this platform. Non-specific ST depression on an EKG means that there are changes in the ST segment of the EKG that are not specifically indicative of a heart attack or ischemia. It can be caused by various factors such as electrolyte imbalances, medications, or even normal variation. If you have concerns about the findings on your EKG, it would be best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation.

I've been having a headache on the right side of the back of my head lately and when I checked my blood pressure it was between 140-160 for systolic and 90-110 for diastolic over the past week. My pulse is around 80-85 and oxygen is at 99. I dont have any other medical issues but I recently moved to a new country and this started after I got here. Could this change in food and location be affecting my blood pressure? Before moving, I was drinking and eating out about three times a week for a couple of months. Could that have caused my blood pressure to spike? Im planning on seeing a cardiologist next week but would appreciate any advice you might have.
Based on the information provided, the spike in your blood pressure could be related to various factors such as stress, dietary changes, and lifestyle habits. It is possible that the change in food and location, as well as the previous indulgence in drinking and dining out frequently, may have contributed to the increase in your blood pressure. To help manage your blood pressure, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You can start by reducing your salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Additionally, if your cardiologist deems it necessary, they may prescribe medication to help lower your blood pressure. It's good that you have an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist, as they will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment plan after a thorough evaluation.

I'm seeing my BP as 124 over 80, and my pulse rate is 108. Is this pulse rate normal? I'm also 73 kg and having some neck pain. Should I be concerned about any of this?
