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've had a bit of a scare recently while doing the dishes. I accidentally cut my finger on a piece of glass. Initially, it seemed alright after rinsing it with water, but then things got weird. I started feeling short of breath, my head went all dizzy, and just as I grabbed a napkin for the wound, my vision went dark like I couldn't see anything. I almost collapsed but managed to lie down on my bed, and then it all just went away. Does this sound like a serious issue to you?
You may have experienced a vasovagal response, which can sometimes occur in response to pain or stress. However, given the symptoms you described, such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, and vision changes, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious underlying issues. In the meantime, you can clean the wound with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the wound covered with a sterile bandage and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge.

I've been having this weird discomfort in my upper chest for the last few days, and it's starting to concern me a bit. Sometimes the pain even travels from my upper shoulder to my back shoulder. I can't help but wonder what could be causing this. Are there specific tests or checks I should be considering to figure out what's going on?
I would recommend you to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, a chest X-ray to look for any abnormalities in the chest area, and possibly an upper endoscopy to examine the esophagus and stomach for any signs of acid reflux or inflammation. Additionally, blood tests may be done to check for any markers of heart damage or inflammation. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
