I'm really confused about my TMT report. It says the test is negative, but one doctor mentioned it might actually be positive. The cardiologist did an echo test too, and that turned out normal. He said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand if there's anything in the TMT that I should be worried about?

If the report mentions TMT negative, it indicates a normal result where no significant changes were observed during the test. Since your cardiologist also conducted an echo test which came back normal and reassured you that there is nothing to worry about, it is unlikely that there is a cause for concern regarding your TMT results. It is important to follow your cardiologist's advice and continue with any recommended follow-up appointments or tests. If you have any further concerns, please consult with your cardiologist for personalized advice.

Can cervical or anxiety be causing my chest pain? It's been 5 months and although my ECG and X-ray were fine, the chest pain just won't go away. Could it still be related to my heart?

Cervical issues and anxiety can indeed cause chest pain, especially if all cardiac tests like ECG and X-ray have come back normal. The persistent chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. To help alleviate the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) as needed for pain and muscle relaxation. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with these palpitations. Even though all my echocardiography results and other tests came back normal, I keep experiencing them out of the blue while I'm just going about my day. It's starting to worry me because I can't pin down why it's happening. Could there be something else going on that the tests didn't pick up? What should I do next?

Palpitations can be caused by various factors, including anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or certain medications. In your case, since all tests are normal, you may consider trying a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations. It can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I've been diagnosed with triple vessel disease, and they recommended angioplasty. I'm really hoping for a less invasive approach, like EECP or chelation therapy, but I can't find any doctors willing to even discuss these alternatives. I'm feeling a bit stuck and just wondering what other options might be out there for me. Would love any advice or insights on possible treatments besides surgery.
