I'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my chest, and I've already seen a cardiologist about it. They had me do a bunch of tests like an ECG, 2D echo, TMT, CT coronary angiography, and even conventional angiography. Everything came back normal, which was a relief. But just a few days ago, the chest pain came back and the ECG now shows a T wave abnormality, possibly anterior ischemia. I'm really worried about what this could mean. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about, and what do you think my next steps should be?

Hello, based on your history and the recent ECG findings showing T wave abnormality suggesting anterior ischemia, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. Since your cardiac tests have all come back normal, the T wave abnormality may be due to other factors such as coronary artery spasm, inflammation, or even non-cardiac causes. I recommend discussing with your doctor about starting medication like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief during chest pain episodes. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) and Calcium channel blockers (e.g. Amlodipine) to help prevent chest pain episodes. It would also be helpful to consider a referral to a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal causes of chest pain, as well as a follow-up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I've been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years and I've also got high cholesterol. I used to take Tonact TG, which really helped me a lot, but my doctor recently switched me to Ecosprin AV 75. My TMT came back positive, but all my other heart tests, including the CT coronary, were normal. I'm wondering if I can take Tonact TG and Ecosprin 75 separately instead of just using Ecosprin AV 75? I noticed that with Tonact TG, my LDL stays around 70 mgdL and it also boosts my HDL levels more than just taking atorvastatin. Can you help me figure this out?
NO take ecospirin av as it comes in combiantion with blood thinner and you gave arisk as your tmt came out positive,no need to worry ,follow your doctors advice

Azithromycin (Azipro 500) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. The usual dosage for adults with a sore throat is 500 mg once daily for 3 days. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed by the pharmacist. In addition to Azithromycin, you can also try over-the-counter remedies such as throat lozenges, warm salt water gargles, and staying hydrated to help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
