I've got an ECG report that says I have left atrial enlargement and mild left axis deviation, but my blood pressure is around 130. Should I be concerned about this?

Left atrial enlargement and mild left axis deviation on an ECG can be indicative of certain heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate these findings with additional tests such as an echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of the heart. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can be beneficial. In terms of medication, you may consider taking medications such as Losartan (50mg) to help manage blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.

I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"
