I'm trying to make sense of my recent test results. The CT angiography came back normal, but my treadmill test is mildly positive. I don't have any chest pain, my blood sugar is normal, and my lipid profile is good, but I do have high blood pressure. What does this all mean? Should I be worried about the mildly positive TMT even though everything else seems fine? What should be my next steps?

TMT showing mild positive results without chest pain could indicate a potential issue with the heart's blood supply. Since your CT angiography is normal and other parameters like blood sugar and lipid profile are also normal, it's important to focus on managing your blood pressure to reduce the risk of any further heart-related issues. You can start taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure effectively. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential to ensure it stays within a healthy range.

View allI'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've had for the past month. I've done all the testsECG, 2D echo, and TMTand they all came back normal. My lipid profile is borderline though. I can't sleep because of the constant headache and chest pain throughout the day. The only way I'm sleeping is with Restyl 0.25 mg, but the chest pain just won't go away. What should I do next?

I've noticed that every afternoon when I try to take a rest, my heartbeat feels really high, and the only time I seem to realize it is when I'm lying down in bed. It's becoming a bit concerning. Is it normal to experience something like this, or should I be worried about it? Could there be any specific reason for my heart to race at that time of day?
This could be a sign of a condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), where your heart suddenly beats very fast for a short period of time. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further management.
