EKG Showed ST Depression, Hypothyroidism. On Birth Control Pills, Multivitamin And Armour Thyroid. Worry?
Hi. I recently had an ekg which showed st depression My doctor wants me to have a nuclear stress test and echo. I am basically healthy, 46 y/o, I exercise about 3 days wk cardio, yoga and swim. I eat a healthy diet hardly any meat and I dont smoke. I am on birth control pills and a multivitamin and armour thyroid for hypothyroidism . He said it could be nothing or something but I am still worried. I was nearvous while in the office and the tech redid my ekg because of slight tachycardia due to stress. Could that have caused the problem?

Hello,
welcome to HCM,
These ECG changes mostly non specific if you have no any symptoms. or may be due to hypothyroidism. But not to worry that much.
I advise you to take homeopathic treatment for hypothyroid because by homeopathy you can be free from thyroid problem and after some time you will be free from medicines also. It has no side effect.
As your question detail shows that you are basically anxious person so homeopathy is best for you which can reduce your anxiety also.
So consult to good classical homeopath.

1. ST depression is a sign of myocardial ischemia i.e. reduced coronary perfusion i.e. Ischemic heart Disease.
2. but since tachycardia was there along with nervousness both these conditions (sinus tachycardia + CNS) can lead to non- ischemic ST depression.
3. hopefully your tech or attending Physician have ruled out other possibility of ST depression: hypokalemia,hypocalcemia, Right or Left Ventricular Hypertrophy,or due to side effect of medication.
4. Have an appointment with your physician or consider a second Opinion.
5. probably TMT (stress ecg)/Echo will be helpful.
6. In Patients with pre existing heart disease receiving Thyroxine there is chest pain and increased heart rate, so check with the dosage.
7. treatment will rest upon the diagnosis.
