Question

My aunt recently had a TMT test which came back positive, so she had a CAG done afterward. The doctor said everything looked normal, with no artery blockages, but she was still given medicine for heart attack prevention and blood circulation. Does this mean there's possibly another issue going on? I'm really concerned and don't quite understand why she'd need these medications if there's no blockage. Could it be related to something else?

It is possible that your aunt's symptoms could be related to other cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease or heart failure. However, without more information about her specific symptoms and medical history, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. The medications prescribed for heart attacks and blood circulation issues are typically aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health. It is important for your aunt to continue taking the prescribed medications as directed by her doctor to reduce the risk of any potential complications.
