I've got a cholesterol overall level of 360, and I'm pretty worried about it. Can you help me figure out some ways to bring it down? I'm really looking to make some changes.

I recommend making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, you can consider taking a statin medication like Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication."

I'm a bit worried about my TMT results that showed inducible ischemia and mentioned a 1 mm ST change in certain leads during exercise. My max heart rate reached 206, with a maximum blood pressure of 18580, and I'm only 33 years old. I exercised for a total of 6 minutes and 19 seconds, reaching a workload of 7.40 METS, but the test was stopped when I hit my max heart rate. My 2D Echo came back normal. Do you think I need to get an angiogram, or is there anything else I should consider?

Given your positive TMT result showing inducible ischemia with 1 mm ST depression in multiple leads, achieving maximum heart rate during the test, and normal 2D Echo results, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate the extent and severity of coronary artery disease, especially considering your young age (33) and high workload achieved during the test; consult your cardiologist to discuss the risks and benefits of an angiogram and determine the best course of action.
