I'm having this issue where whenever I increase my treadmill speed, I feel pain in the upper left side of my chest. I had a TMT and echo done just three months ago, and everything came back normal. I'm a bit concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

This type of chest pain during exercise could be due to musculoskeletal causes or even acid reflux. However, since you have already had a normal TMT and echo, it is less likely to be related to the heart. I would recommend trying an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for possible acid reflux. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any musculoskeletal pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

View allI'm on ctd12.5 in the morning and bisoheart 5 mg at night for the last three years, which has mostly kept my blood pressure in check. But for the past week, my BP has been high at 160103. Could you let me know why this might be happening and what I should do about it?
It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled despite your current medications. I would recommend increasing the dosage of your current medications or adding an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. You can consider increasing the dosage of CTD12.5 to CTD25 in the morning and Bisoheart 5 mg to Bisoheart 10 mg at night. However, it is important to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm a bit worried about my dad's recent test results. The doctor recommended a 2D echo and a treadmill test for him. The 2D echo came back normal, but the treadmill test showed a positive stress result. I've heard that only 4 out of 10 times, these TMT tests are accurate, which is kinda freaking me out. If one test is normal and the other one isn't, does that mean there's something to be concerned about? Could you shed some light on this?
If TMT is normal Better to under screening Angiogram,do not neglect,visit Cardiologist for the same
