I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?

Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
