View allI'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 feeling some pain on the left side of my chest. It's not constant, and sometimes it just goes away on its own. I'm kinda worried about what this could mean or if I should be concerned. Any ideas on what might be going on?

I've been feeling really off lately. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe properly, and I start sweating. I checked my blood pressure and pulse, and they seem normalBP was 12070, and pulse rate was 73. But for the past few nights especially, my heart feels like it's racing. I go to the gym regularly, I don't smoke, but my job at an MNC is pretty stressful. Could stress be causing this, or should I be worried about something else?
