I've been taking medicine for blood pressure for a few years now, and I'm 45. Lately, even short walks or a couple of stairs have been really tough. I used to handle longer walks and more stairs without any issues. I had an ECG done three months ago, and it looked normal. I don't have trouble just going about my day, but my blood sugar is kind of borderline too. I'm wondering what test would be better to figure out what's going onan echo or a TMT?

Based on your symptoms and medical history, it would be advisable to go for a TMT (Treadmill Test) to assess your cardiac function and determine if there are any underlying issues causing your symptoms. TMT is a stress test that helps evaluate how well your heart responds to exertion. It can provide valuable information about your heart's health and function, especially in cases where there are symptoms like shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance. It is a non-invasive test that can help in diagnosing any potential heart problems.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?
It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.

I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
