any medical persons please

[TEARELBO]

HI,

I've not been well, but think I had a mild dose of covid for a finish. coming out of it now, but last week I had a high heart rate, but bp was normal.
after a round of bloods, all look normal enough to my uneducated eye, but my iron levels are low and this one in particular is concerning me.

Troponin I <3.0 is that bad, I only got the results in the post this evening and hadn't a chance to ring the gp which I will be doing this morning.

would anyone on here know. please

Why do you think it is a worry? I’m pretty sure all it means is that you haven’t had a heart attack.

Dr Google was saying that elevated levels indicated hart damage
i’m a massive worry wart

You need the units of measurement and that labs normal range to interpret it. They’d have told you (probably after admitting you) if it was a problem.

“ < 3” usually implies it is undetectable, in other words completely normal as not there. Troponin is released by damaged heart muscle such as during a heart attack

caveat: what is the unit used?

The < in that direction means it’s lower than 3.

If it says that it means that the troponin level is below the lowest detectable by the test. It's negative i.e normal.
Strange test for a GP to order, but it's negative

It didn’t give a unit
bit but I appreciate all the answers
and in hindsight common sense would dictate that the hospital wouldn’t have let me out if I was having a heart attack.
i probably do suffer from menopause symptoms and anxiety making me worry unnecessarily
thank you
