My wife's TMT came back positive, but her echocardiogram and ECG results were normal. Her doctor suggested she get an angiogram. I'm trying to understand if this is the right step at her age, which is 46. Is it usual to go for an angiogram in such cases, or are there other things we should consider first?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The advice for angiogram given by the doctor seems appropriate considering your wife's TMT test being positive. An angiogram can provide detailed information about the blood flow to the heart and help in identifying any blockages in the arteries. Given her age of 46 years and the positive TMT result, it is important to further investigate to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. I would recommend following the doctor's advice and proceeding with the angiogram to assess the heart's condition accurately.

I'm really concerned because I'm still having this pain on the left side of my chest and in my neck, even though my TMT and high-sensitive troponin tests came back normal. Should I still be worried about the possibility of a heart attack?
It's good that your TMT test and high sensitive troponin I test results are normal. However, persistent left chest pain and neck side pain should not be ignored. It's important to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac issues, but it's essential to rule out any cardiac concerns. You can take a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling this strange beating sensation on the left side of my chest, close to my heart. What could be causing this?
The sensation you are experiencing could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. However, if the palpitations are occasional and not associated with any other symptoms, you can try over-the-counter medication like **Propranolol** at a dose of 10-40mg as needed to help reduce the sensation. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package
