View allI've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?
You have to loose weight and maintain healthy BMI even though the cholesterol is normal for high BMI there is always risk of stroke better to continue to the medication till you are completely normal and healthy in all aspects

I'm really anxious about my ECG report. It mentioned a possible lateral infarct with age undetermined. What exactly does that mean? Could it indicate I had a heart attack at some point? I'm confused because my cardiologist said the ECG was normal. Can you help clarify this for me?

I'm trying to make sense of my Echo Report, and it's causing me a bit of concern. It mentions things like a normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormalities, which I think sounds good. However, what got my attention was the mention of mild PAH and a mild TR. I'm a bit worried if the fast heart rate during the test, which was likely due to my anxiety, might have affected the results and led to a possible misdiagnosis of PAH. I mean, I haven't really had any symptoms other than a brief episode of PVC and sometimes a slightly fast heart rate. My resting rate stays between 50-65 BPM. I'm hoping for a little clarity on whether these findings are something to be concerned about. Can fast heart rate really make a difference in diagnosis, or am I misunderstanding things here?
normal.
