I'm a bit concerned because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an echo done and it came out normal, but my TMT results showed mild positive for inducible ischemia. My cholesterol numbers are also worrying me - HDL is 34, triglycerides are at 195, and total cholesterol is 209. I don't smoke and I'm trying to follow the diet and lifestyle changes my cardiologist suggested but I'm still feeling worried. I'm 31 years old and my blood pressure is at 14080. Do you think I might need an angiogram?

Based on your symptoms and test results, it's important to continue following the advice of your cardiologist regarding diet changes and lifestyle activities. In addition, considering your age and the mild positive TMT result, an angiogram may be recommended to further evaluate any potential blockages in your coronary arteries. To help manage your cholesterol levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower your total cholesterol and triglycerides. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly.

My mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you think it's something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.
