I've been really worried about whether a TMT or an echo is better for checking for blockages. I mean, if I want to make sure nothing's wrong, which test should I go for?

I'm Priyanka, and I'm a bit concerned about my health. My TMT test showed inconclusive results regarding ischemia. I'm also looking at my lipid profile, which shows total cholesterol at 172, triglycerides at 172, HDL at 42, and LDL at 95.5. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health and suggest any steps I should take? I've been feeling unwell, and I'm not sure what to do next.
Hello Priyanka, based on your test results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing some cardiovascular issues. I would recommend starting treatment with a statin medication to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. You can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve your lipid profile and reduce the risk of ischaemia. Additionally, you should focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to further improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm really concerned about my heart health. Although my heartbeat is normal, I've been experiencing light body shakes. My breathing seems fine, but I can't help but worry about potential heart problems. What could be causing this?
To rule out cardiac issues. Get a ECG and 2D echocardiography done. If they are normal then get a TMT stress echo done.. If they are also normal then you have nothing to worry from heart side Meanwhile take Tab. Flexon Mr twice a day for 5 days Cap. Pantocid DSR 40 mg before meals twice a day for 5
