View allMy aunt recently had a TMT test which came back positive, so she had a CAG done afterward. The doctor said everything looked normal, with no artery blockages, but she was still given medicine for heart attack prevention and blood circulation. Does this mean there's possibly another issue going on? I'm really concerned and don't quite understand why she'd need these medications if there's no blockage. Could it be related to something else?
It is possible that your aunt's symptoms could be related to other cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease or heart failure. However, without more information about her specific symptoms and medical history, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. The medications prescribed for heart attacks and blood circulation issues are typically aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health. It is important for your aunt to continue taking the prescribed medications as directed by her doctor to reduce the risk of any potential complications.

I was recently told by my general physician to start a 10-day course of Telma 40 mg because my blood pressure was quite high at 170110. I've been checking my BP in the evenings for the next few days, and it's usually between 100150 and 115155. After taking the medication for six days, my BP has come down to around 13090, and for the last couple of days, it's stabilized around 12080 in the evening. I've also cut back on salty and oily foods and started walking about 4 to 5 km, plus doing 20 minutes of Pranayam. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what else I can do. I have a BMI of 26.5. Any advice?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having a lot of symptoms since I recovered from COVID back in July. I still don't feel completely better. Lately, I've been having chest pain on the left side and near my shoulder blade, and my left hand feels heavy, with some pain in my armpit. There's this weird pressure in the center of my upper chest, but it doesn't hurt. Bending or moving around makes my chest hurt too, but it's sort of bearable. Plus, I often get this numb feeling in my head, like pins and needles, though it doesn't really hurt. Sometimes I get headaches as well. I did an ECG and a 2D echo three months ago and everything was normal, but I'm attaching the latest ECG I just had done today. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms and history of Covid-19, it is important to consider the possibility of post-Covid complications such as myocarditis or pericarditis. The chest pain, left shoulder blade pain, heaviness in the left hand, and pressure in the upper chest could be indicative of cardiac issues. Since your recent ECG is available, it would be important to review it for any acute changes. I recommend starting a course of aspirin to help with any potential inflammation and to prevent blood clots. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole to protect your stomach while on aspirin. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and possible additional tests such as a cardiac MRI. Medication: - Aspirin 75mg once daily - Omeprazole 20mg once daily
