Hello doctor,
I am 51 years old. I have an ECG today as I have a high blood pressure of 160/90 mm of Hg. I have had a weakness for two days. I had undergone a treadmill test (TMT) and computed tomography (CT) angiography eight years before. The treadmill test (TMT) showed positive results, while the computed tomography (CT) angiography showed negative results. Currently, I am taking Angizaar 50 mg, Starcad 25 mg, Atrofit 20 mg, and Flumusa. Minor changes were observed. Hence I went for the Top-T test. It had a valuation of 0.003 ng. Please guide me.
