Hey Doc, I recently went through some medical tests and discovered that my homocysteine levels are really high. I'm currently on zincovit, but I'm wondering if I should switch to a stronger multivitamin. Can you recommend one that might help lower my homocysteine levels? Appreciate your guidance.

View allI'm kind of worried because my recent TMT test was mildly positive, yet my cholesterol, BP, and ECG results were all normal. My doctor is suggesting an angiogram, but it's pretty expensive for me. Do you think it's really necessary to go through with it?
A mildly positive TMT test result, especially when other parameters like cholesterol, blood pressure, and ECG are normal, may indicate a potential issue with blood flow to the heart. An angiogram is considered the gold standard for evaluating blockages in the coronary arteries. However, in some cases, additional non-invasive tests such as a CT coronary angiography may provide further information before proceeding with an invasive procedure. It is important to discuss the necessity and potential alternatives with your doctor based on your individual health situation.

I'm really confused about my recent medical test results. I initially went to the doctor for a gastric problem, and they told me to take a troponin test. The result came back positive, with a level of 0.03, which worried me. But then, my family doctor suggested I get a second opinion, so I went to MMM Chennai on the same day, and their test showed a negative result. Now I'm not sure which result to believe or what steps I should take next. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
Troponin is a cardiac marker used to diagnose heart conditions. In your case, since there is a discrepancy between the two test results, it is important to consider further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a detailed assessment. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues while awaiting further evaluation.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure reading, which is 140103. Is it normal, or should I be worried? Can it be improved with lifestyle changes? Would love some advice.
A blood pressure reading of 140103 is considered high and warrants attention; while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep can help lower blood pressure
