Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Your troponin levels is elevated and you should be worried about it. You should schedule for a cardiologist appointment.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
- Stress test
The troponin levels will be reduced over the next ten days and you shouldn't do anything.
Wish you health!
