What do you think it means when my ECG shows a T wave inversion and my echo test results are fine, but my TMT test comes back positive? These have been the results for the past ten years. Now I've also caught COVID-19 with a mild lung infection. Any advice?

based on your description of T wave inversion in ECG, a positive TMT test for the past 10 years, and mild COVID-19 infection in the lungs, it suggests that you may have a long-standing cardiac issue. The T wave inversion in ECG can indicate heart muscle ischemia or other cardiac problems. Since your TMT test has been positive for the past 10 years, it indicates that there is a likelihood of coronary artery disease or heart-related issues. In this case, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. You may consider taking medications such as Aspirin and Atorvastatin to reduce the risk of heart complications. Additionally, for your mild COVID-19 infection, it is crucial to follow the prescribed treatment plan, rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms closely. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
