I'm a bit worried after getting my TMT results back. It came borderline positive for inducible ischemia with max METS at 9.40 and some mild STT changes in the inferolateral leads. Does this mean there's a serious issue with my heart? Is the positive stress test something to be very concerned about, or could there be less serious reasons for these results? What should I be doing next?

I'm getting really worried because my BP has been consistently at 160 over 120, even after taking the telmisartan and amlodipine 5 mg tablets. What could be happening, and why isn't my blood pressure going down?

I'm 25 and I've been experiencing some strange symptoms after meals. My heart feels like it's racing, and my ears get really hot. When I checked my blood pressure, it was around 170100. Do you know what might be causing this and what steps I should take?

This could be a sign of uncontrolled hypertension. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
