Hypoxia and Medicine

HI and thanks. don't understand ischemia or if its serious.?

II don't understand ischemia or if it is serious or a minor problem. Is it the same as brachcardia or tracycar Is ischemia serious? Is it the same as bracycardia or tachycardia? Should I be worried about it or is it OK like an allergy bothers you, but isn't serious? Are there better meds for it than Lipitor? Is there minor ischemia and worse ischemia. I haven't had an echocardiogram. I can't get a handle on this through my dr. I cannot stop the stress or PTSD that I have. I know that the stress is very bad for me, but I can't seem to stop it.. Any info. anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. I would love a medical referral for the ischemia or PTSD in San Francisco or Berkeley/El Cerrito area. Thank you all. Jay Jay

1. Hello Jay; Ischemia is a serious condition, as it denotes blood shortage to an organ, probably the heart. I would recommend contacting your insurance company and -- if you can go directly to a specialist -- find the best cardiologist you can. Being in the SF area, you might want to go to UCSF. Contact them to see if your insurance is accepted there. All my best wishes to you . . .
