I'm dealing with this chest pain that's right in the middle of my chest, and its been going on for the last two months. Sometimes its regular, sometimes its not. It gets really painful when I bend to pick something up from the ground, and the pain even shoots to my back. Can you help me out? What might be causing this?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. However, considering the pain worsening with movement, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. You can try taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Diclofenac (Voltaren) gel on the affected area. It is also advisable to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.
