My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?

I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

I'm 52 and had bypass surgery back in 2004. Right now, I'm getting chelation treatment for my heart (35EF). I'm not sure if this is the best option for me can you explain whether chelation treatment is really helpful in my case?

Stop this treatment immediately. At present this treatment is not advocated by any professional cardiac society. U may end up having kidney failure. Always get time tested therapies. If y want u can get second opinion by other certified cardiologist

I've been having some on-and-off chest pain and stomach pain for the past two weeks. I'm also noticing some random tingling in different spots on my body and even some pain in my right shoulder that feels like a pulled muscle or maybe even trapped wind. Could all of these symptoms be connected to something significant, or should I not worry too much?
