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?

Question

I'm curious about why I need to fast for 12 hours before a lipid profile test. Also, is it okay if I drink water during this fasting period?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed this nerve in my left palm beating, and I'm not sure if it's something dangerous. I had an ASD device closure recently, and I'm wondering if this might be related. I have a 3-year-old child, so I just want to make sure everything's okay. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
