Why would a TMT test come back positive if the ECG, Echo, and lipid profile tests are all normal? Do we really need the TMT test in this case? Its a bit confusing.

Ideally its not possible,but there is chance of it turning positive,it records rhythms of your heart when physically excited so its good to get tested

I've just had an ECG, and the doctor mentioned there were some issues. They suggested I get an ECHO, which thankfully turned out to be normal. Now they've advised me to go for an angiography. I'm a bit uncertain about going for another test. Could you help me understand why it might be necessary? Also, they've prescribed me Clopidogrel IP 75 mg and Atorvastatin. Could you explain what these medications are for and if there are any side effects I should be aware of? I'm feeling a little lost here and would appreciate some guidance.

yes to continue all the medications as advised ,, angiography as a prognosis is advised..
