What test shows blocked arteries in the heart?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

The most accurate method to detect blocked arteries remains an invasive test called cardiac angiography, which requires a catheter to be threaded into heart vessels. But the signs of blocked arteries may also be seen on an ECG.

I've recently had this weird thing happen three times in the last couple of weeks where I suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy. Two of those times, I was driving, which was pretty scary, and another time it happened while I was just watching TV. I'm kind of worried these could be signs of heart attacks or something else serious. Could you tell me what might be going on, and what kind of doctor I should talk to about this?

Episodes of sudden sweating and dizziness can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any serious issues, including heart problems. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions such as low blood sugar, dehydration, or anxiety. I recommend you to consult a Cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. They may suggest tests like an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test to assess your heart health. In the meantime, make sure to stay hydrated, eat regular meals, and avoid driving if you feel dizzy to ensure your safety.
