I'm curious about my recent test results. My TMT came back positive for reverse myocardial ischemia, but the rest of my tests, like my lipid profile, were normal, aside from my high blood pressure. The doctor gave me meds for the BP, but seemed pretty concerned about the TMT results. Could it be possible that the TMT was a false positive since everything else seems fine, except for my blood pressure being high?

I'm feeling really dizzy and almost like I'm about to faint. I suddenly started sweating out of nowhere. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and maybe suggest some remedies for it?

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?

I'm experiencing a high heart rate at intervals. What could be causing this? I don't have any symptoms related to COVID.
