  2. Balanced diet (low sodium, high fiber)
  3. Stress management (meditation, yoga)
  4. Adequate sleep (7-8 hoursnight)
  5. Weight management (if overweight)

Question

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain right in the center of my chest, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it goes away. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something simple?

Question

I've been dealing with some chest pain for the last couple of months and have noticed a bit of blood in my spit in the mornings on random days. I got a full body check-up, but everything seemed okay except my thyroid and cholesterol levels were slightly elevated. What should I do next?

Question

I've recently come across my TMT results, which show a mildly positive reaction with horizontal ST depression up to 2mm in some leads, but it normalizes quickly in recovery. My echo came out normal, and I don't smoke, drink, or have any early CAD family history. My lipid profile reads LDL at 101, triglycerides at 139, HDL at 33, and a total of 157. I'm quite sedentary, and lately, I've noticed pinpoint pain and pressure in my chest, shoulders, and upper abdomen. It flares up intermittently during brisk walking and feels really localized. I've also been dealing with anxiety for the past four years, so I sometimes have breathing difficulties whether I'm resting or active. Is it possible to have CAD at this age without any obvious risk factors, or could this pain just be anxiety? I did have stress echo tests in the past, which were negative, just like a TMT back in 2016. Could you offer some insight?
