Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Inferior wall ischemia means blockage in right coronary artery. Right coronary artery is small branch supplying inferior wall of the heart. So any blockage in this artery will cause ischemia in inferior wall.
This artery also supplies SA node. SA node is pacemaker of heart. So possibility of arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) is more with inferior wall ischemia.
So you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done coronary angiography to identify the blockage in right coronary artery. Sometimes more than one arteries are blocked. So angiography is must. Angiography is not only diagnostic but therapeutic also. We can put Stent and open the blocked arteries.
So you should definitely consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
