I'm really worried about my mom. During her regular health checkup, they said she has a mildly positive TMT for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a max METS level of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 to a max of 164. Her blood pressure changed from 12078 to a max of 15090. They also found she has dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol of 216, HDL at 71, and LDL at 132. They advised her to take atorva and Ecospirin and to repeat the TMT after 6 months. I'm curious, is this something really serious? And does the medication usually help? Whats the next line of action after this?

I had my ECG done today, and the report showed some abnormalities. My doctor mentioned that everything was normal, but I'm confused. What should I do now?

If your doctor has reviewed your ECG report and assured you that it is normal despite showing abnormalities, it is important to trust their expertise. ECG results can sometimes show variations that are within normal limits for certain individuals. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms that persist, it is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and clarification.
