Heart disease: In short, the blood vessels in your heart are diseased and less than required blood is getting to the muscle of the heart. I trust that you are under the care of a doctor. Please be compliant with the instructions of your doctor. Wish you good health.

Ischemia : Ischemia means insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle. This can be detected by various tests including a stress test, where depression of the ST segments may indicate ischemia. Options for treatment depend on details of the history, test results, and patient preferences and values. Consider getting a 2nd opinion consult here on HealthTap if you still have questions after seeing your doctor
