I'm curious about somethingcan you have a negative TMT stress test but still experience angina or have atherosclerosis? Is getting an angiogram a better way to check for coronary artery disease?

A negative TMT stress test does not completely rule out the presence of angina or atherosclerosis. In some cases, the test may not accurately detect blockages in the coronary arteries. An angiogram is considered the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) as it provides a direct visualization of the coronary arteries. If there is a high suspicion of CAD despite a negative TMT, an angiogram may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

I'm 30 years old and my blood pressure is 130100 with a pulse rate of 90. I've been experiencing palpitations constantly and it's making it hard for me to sleep due to anxiety. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to address it?

Your blood pressure of 130100 is slightly elevated, and your pulse rate of 90 is also on the higher side. Feeling palpitations and having difficulty sleeping due to anxiety can be concerning. I recommend you start with lifestyle modifications such as reducing caffeine intake, practicing relaxation techniques, and regular exercise. For your palpitations and anxiety, you can take Propranolol 10mg twice a day to help with both symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking Lorazepam 0.5mg at bedtime to help with sleep and anxiety. It's important to follow up with a healthcare provider before starting any medication.
