View allSo I got my ECO and TMT tests done on June 14th, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure kind of bounces between 120145 and 8092. Since the TMT was negative, does this mean I definitely don't have any blockages? Should I be redoing these tests given my blood pressure numbers? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else I should be doing or checking on.
Hi, based on your normal Eco and TMT results from June 14th and considering your blood pressure readings between 120-145 and 80-92, as well as the negative TMT result indicating no blockage, there may not be an immediate need to repeat the same tests. However, it is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure. If you have any concerning symptoms or if your blood pressure readings significantly change, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for a personalized assessment and recommendations.

I'm really worried about my mom who's 62. She recently had some chest pain, and her ECG came out abnormal. We consulted with a cardiologist, and they did a TMT test, which was strongly positive. She's also had an echo test done. Now we've been told she needs to go for a CAG angiogram test. I'm just trying to understand how serious her condition might be. Could there be a severe blockage? What do these tests tell us about her heart health?
Given the information that your mother's TMT (treadmill test) result is strongly positive and she has had chest pain along with an abnormal ECG, it suggests a significant likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD). An angiogram (CAG - coronary angiography) is the next appropriate step as it will provide a detailed view of the coronary arteries to identify the presence, location, and severity of any blockages. This test is crucial for determining the best treatment plan, which may involve medications, angioplasty, or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the findings. Please follow your cardiologist's recommendations and proceed with the angiogram for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been feeling really anxious ever since I lost my job last month. The anxiety seems to be affecting my heart rate too. It was usually under 90, but in the last 20 days, I've noticed it's been higher. I've recently managed to get my resting heart rate down to under 75 by starting brisk walking and taking an arjuna tablet once a day. However, I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side during my walks, and my heart rate shoots up to 130. I just did an ECG test because of this. Can you take a look at my ECG report and let me know what might be going on and the best way to handle it?
start doing exercises, drink plenty of water
