I've had a coronary angiogram back in 2011, and my doctor advised me to take aspirin for the rest of my life. I'm a bit concerned and just want to know if this is really safe. Also, can you tell me what side effects I might experience? And is it okay to take aspirin during my monthly periods?

Aspirin is commonly prescribed for long-term use in patients with a history of coronary artery disease. It helps to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The common side effects of aspirin include stomach irritation, ulcers, and increased risk of bleeding. It is generally safe to take aspirin during monthly periods, but it is always recommended to consult with your doctor for personalized advice. The recommended dosage for aspirin for heart health is usually low dose, around 75-100mg per day. Please follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of taking aspirin.

View allI'm feeling a bit confused and worried because I recently had some tests done. My TMT came back mildly positive, but my CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram all showed normal results. What could be the main reason for the TMT result? Could there be other factors affecting it? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.
TMT (Treadmill Test) showing mildly positive results could indicate a possibility of coronary artery disease. However, since the CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram are all normal, other factors could be contributing to the mildly positive TMT result. These factors may include false-positive results, underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, or medication interference. To address the mildly positive TMT result and rule out any potential issues, your doctor may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medication like aspirin or statins may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your heart health.

I've been experiencing some occasional tingling or numbness on the left side of my chest, like maybe twice a week. It doesn't really hurt or anything. I've read online that it might be related to anxiety, but I don't feel anxious or stressed out. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or is it something normal?
Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..

I've noticed that whenever I eat food or refined oil, my blood pressure rises, and I feel this intense warmth inside my body. Plus, my hand nerves start beating at 100 beats per minute. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something more serious?
It could be a sign of a possible food sensitivity or intolerance. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to avoid foods that trigger these symptoms and consider taking medication.
