I've been experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

Question

I've got a situation with my aunty that's worrying me a bit. She's been having chest pain and even though the doctor said her ECG and 2D echo are normal, the TMT showed some changes. She's 46, and I'm just wondering what this could mean? Should we be concerned about the TMT results despite the other normal tests? Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.

I'm a bit worried because I have diabetes and this morning I felt a slight pain on the left side of my chest. I went to the hospital, and they did an ECG. The report said "Borderline," but it was unconfirmed. The doctor told me it's not a huge problem but that I need to watch my diet and keep tabs on my heart health. I'm a little confused and can't help but worry about what all this means. Could you help me understand? Ive been losing sleep over this.

Question

Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.
