I'm really puzzled about my situation. I've been getting a stress positive result on my TMT test for the last five years, even though my angiogram came back normal and I don't have any heart issues. I'm just wondering what steps I can take or medicines I might need to help me eventually get a stress normal result. Could you give me some advice on this?

View allI'm really worried because I was just sitting and out of nowhere, I felt a shock in my chest. My legs suddenly went cold, and I started vomiting something that tasted like acid. I have all my reports with me. Does this sound like something serious?
Sudden sensations of a shock in the heart, cold legs, and vomiting acid are concerning symptoms that should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider. While your recent 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray are normal, the acute nature of these symptoms, especially the feeling of a heart shock and cold legs, could indicate a serious condition such as a cardiac event or a severe gastrointestinal issue like a stomach acid reflux or esophageal spasm. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any potentially serious conditions. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) if not already done, blood tests, or an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I'm worried because my heart rate is always above 90, even when I'm just relaxing. I've had Eclampsia with a high heart rate and blood pressure before, and my doctor prescribed Ivabrad 5 mg. They mentioned I could stop taking it after a month. I've got a month's supply left, and I'm wondering if I can keep taking Ivabrad to help with my heart health. Is that a good idea?
Ivabradine 5 mg is a medication commonly used to lower heart rate in certain heart conditions. Since you were prescribed this medication for a specific reason and advised to stop after a month, it is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions. If you have remaining tablets and are concerned about your heart health, you can continue taking ivabradine as prescribed until you finish the course. However, it is recommended to consult with your doctor before starting or stopping any medication regimen.
