I'm trying to understand how likely it is to have a heart blockage if my ECG comes back normal? Also, under what circumstances would a doctor suggest going for an angiography?

When ECG is normal no need to worry,if you have non specific chest pain,get a 2D echo done and visit Cardiologist for appropriate management

Understanding Normal ECG and Heart Blockage
- A normal ECG indicates normal heart rhythm and electrical activity.
- It does not completely rule out heart blockages.

Likelihood of Heart Blockage with Normal ECG in a 31-Year-Old Male
- Significant heart blockages are generally rare at this age without risk factors.
- Some blockages may not appear on an ECG unless they cause ischemia or symptoms.
-
When Angiography is Recommended for a Young Male
- Symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath might prompt angiography despite a normal ECG.
- Risk factors include family history, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, or obesity.
- Non-invasive tests like a stress test or CT coronary angiography might precede angiography.
-
Role of Medical Specialties and Diagnostic Tests
- A cardiology consultation is essential for evaluation.

Summary and Reassurance

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 really confused and anxious about my heart health. Even though my CT angiography and troponin tests came back negative with no blockages, I can't shake this worry. I've been taking Concor 5 in the morning, and Cardace 5 and Ceruvin A at night. I also lost weight and quit smoking over the last year and a half. But I still keep stressing over the possibility of a heart attack. My blood pressure usually stays under control, between 12080 to 13085, but it tends to spike when I'm feeling really anxious about my heart. What should I do about these feelings and my health?
No need to worry,you are doing good maintain the same healthy life style,and you are using protective medicines already soo the risk of heartatack is already taken care,take adequate rest and have a regular follow up with your doctor

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last month, consistently around 170110, even after taking my medication. I'm really concerned about why it's not coming down and what I should do next. Could there be something else going on that I need to check?
It seems like your current medication may not be effectively controlling your blood pressure. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication. In addition to your current treatment, adding a medication like Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) can help lower your blood pressure. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure levels.
