Is it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery? The test said mildly positive for RMI, and I reached my target heart rate. I did Bruce stage 3 for about 8.09 minutes. My blood pressure is normal resting at 12080 and after exercise, it was 14080. I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?

View allI'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm. Its not really intense but it does come and go. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to angina or heart-related issues. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg to help with chest pain. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can also be used for chest pain relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.4 mg placed under the tongue for quick effect. Remember, these are temporary measures and it is crucial to see a healthcare professional for further assessment.

I'm 26 and I've been experiencing a weird situation recently. Whenever I try to take a nap during the day, I notice that my heart starts racing, but it usually settles down after a bit. However, after waking up, the palpitations come back for a while, which is really unsettling. This only seems to happen in the daytime, not at night. I recently finished treatment for a panic attack, including psychiatric counseling. Since I'm still having these palpitations, I'm unsure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms and history of panic attacks, it is possible that you are experiencing residual anxiety leading to palpitations. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. You can take Propranolol 10mg to 20mg once daily as needed to help reduce the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
