View allI'm feeling really confused right now. My ECG showed something called inferolateral ischemia, but then both my TMT and 2D echo tests came back normal. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's making me anxious. On top of that, my cholesterol and triglycerides levels are over 240. What could be causing these mixed test results, and what should I consider as the next step for treatment?

How do I know if my chest pain is serious?
Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit. Sometimes, atypical presentation like a person who had mild chest pain with vomiting was tested and found to be having a heart attack on ECG. Hence, every chest pain need a doctor's consultation.

I'm really concerned about how blood pressure might affect heart health, especially since I'm diabetic. Can you explain whether high blood pressure or low blood pressure is more likely to lead to heart failure for someone in my situation?
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to the heart working harder to pump blood, which can eventually weaken the heart muscle and result in heart failure. It is important for diabetic patients to manage their blood pressure effectively to reduce the risk of heart failure. For high blood pressure in diabetic patients, medications such as Lisinopril (brand name: Zestril) or Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) may be prescribed. The dosage will depend on individual factors and should be determined by a healthcare provider. On the other hand, low blood pressure (hypotension) is generally not a direct cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. However, extremely low blood pressure can lead to inadequate blood flow to the organs, including the heart, which can be harmful. It is important for diabetic patients to regularly monitor their blood pressure, follow a healthy lifestyle, and take medications as prescribed to manage both high blood pressure and diabetes effectively.
