Felt Breathlessness And Chest Pains. Taking Medication For BP. ECG Normal. Should I Be Alarmed?
Hi, I am a 45-year old female and currently taking medication for hypertension . Late last year, I had shortness of breathing and chest pains. My ECG and bloods test were all normal so they suspect GERD . I did endoscopy (OGD) which is also normal. I also saw a cardiologist and had a treadmill stress test. The diagnosis is Borderline abnormal treadmill ECG. Electrically equivocal treadmill ECG and subjectively negative treadmill ECG. Test comments: Borderline inferolateral ST depressions that worsens during late recovery. The doctor told me nothing to worry. Although he scheduled me for a Nuclear Cardiology Test in Aug this year. Should I be alarmed? Thanks in advance

It's not really a serious one this time but warrants a thorough follow up with cardiologist. You should go with the advice of your treating doctor...
Best wishes
