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?

I'm feeling really anxious about taking Lomaira, Losartan, and Amlodipine all at once. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Taking Lomaira (phentermine) with Losartan and Amlodipine can increase the risk of side effects such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and potential for heart problems. It is important to monitor for symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and swelling. It is recommended to avoid this combination unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. If you are experiencing weight issues, you can discuss alternative weight management options with your doctor.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent doctor visit. I had some left shoulder pain and my hands felt a bit numb after traveling, so I went to get checked out. The doctor had me do an ECG and mentioned that the QRS interval was 119ms, along with some other abnormalities, then suggested an echo just to be sure. The echo results seemed alright, showing no PAH or RWAH, and my LV systolic and diastolic function looks fine with an EF of 68. They didn't find any clots or vegetation, and the doctor said my echo is fine, but I'm still worried about the QRS interval on my ECG. Should I be looking deeper into this, or is it nothing too concerning?
The ECG report showing a QRS interval of 119ms may indicate a slight delay in the electrical conduction through the heart's lower chambers. This could be due to various reasons such as conduction abnormalities or certain heart conditions. However, since your screening echo came back normal with no significant findings, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To alleviate your left shoulder pain and numbness in hands, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can also consider using topical pain relief creams such as diclofenac gel for localized relief. It is always advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management based on your individual health condition.
