I'm really worried about my recent ECG showing a slight ST depression in V5. I've been dealing with anxiety and some gastric issues. I've had previous tests like an ECG treadmill, and both my troponin I and T were normal. Should I be concerned about these new findings?
Slight ST depression in V5 on ECG can sometimes be seen in patients with anxiety and gastric issues. Since your previous ECG, treadmill test, and troponin I levels were normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Pantoprazole 40mg once a day for gastric issues and medications like Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety.

I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has been pretty low over the last few years. Should I be worried about anything serious going on? My LDL and triglycerides levels aren't where they should be either. What do you think?
Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction can be managed by controlling blood pressure and addressing any underlying conditions. Since your blood pressure has been consistently low, it is important to investigate the cause further. Low blood pressure can be due to dehydration, heart problems, endocrine issues, or neurological conditions. In your case, with elevated LDL and triglyceride levels, it is important to focus on managing your cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition, medication such as Atorvastatin can be prescribed to help lower your LDL levels. For your triglycerides, medications such as Fenofibrate can be considered. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
