I'm a bit confused about my recent heart tests and need some advice. I had a TMT test that was positive a few months ago, and even after showing it to a cardiologist and doing an echo test, which was normal, they still suggested an angiogram because the TMT stayed positive. When comparing the latest TMT results to the previous one, it seemed slightly better but still came back positive. So, I went for a coronary angiogram and found out I have double vessel disease. The plan mentioned possibly needing a PTCA with a stent in the mid LCX RCA. I'm wondering if managing it with medication, diet, meditation, and exercise might be an option, or if the stent is really necessary. I don't have any symptoms like chest pain, hand pain, or dizziness, and my blood pressure and sugar levels have been under control for years. What do you suggest?

Based on your medical history and the findings from your tests, it is important to follow the treatment plan given by your healthcare provider. In addition to the PTCA with stent procedure, it is crucial to adhere to a healthy lifestyle which includes medication, diet, meditation, and exercise to help control your condition. The prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, and Metoprolol will help in managing your condition. It is also essential to follow a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, and maintain a healthy weight. Regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist are necessary to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

View allI'm a bit worried because I just got some results back and I'm not sure what to make of them.

Also, my ECG indicates a sinus rhythm, which I believe is normal, but should I be concerned?

I've been dealing with anxiety since the pandemic started, and it's been causing my blood pressure to creep up to around 140100. I was on Metasartan 25mg for a while but stopped it following my doctor's advice. All my heart-related tests like TMT, ECHO, ECG, and Troponin have come back normal. I checked my blood pressure a couple of weeks ago over four days, and it was 13084, 10282, 12485, and 12082. This was after stopping the BP meds. Are these readings normal, and should I be worried? My TSH is 2, lipid total is 197, LDL is 124, triglycerides are 244, and HDL is 37. There's no family history of heart issues, and all the elders in my family are pretty healthy, with many living past 70. What do you think?
It is good that your TMT, ECHO, ECG, and Troponin tests were normal. Your blood pressure readings seem to be within an acceptable range, although it is important to monitor them regularly. Considering your lipid profile, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise to improve your lipid levels. In addition, since you have a history of anxiety disorder, managing stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy may also help in controlling your blood pressure. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate or if you have any concerning symptoms, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
