Question 1

Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.

Accepted Answer

If your TMT is negative, but you're still concerned about potential blockages or symptoms, its essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more specific tests (like angiography) based on your risk factors and clinical symptoms.

Question 2

My grandfather is in the ICU right now and I'm really worried because the display is showing he has low oxygen supply. Can a doctor explain what's happening and what this might mean for his condition?

Accepted Answer

Low oxygen supply in a critical condition like ICU can be concerning. It is important to address this issue promptly. One common medication used to increase oxygen supply is **Oxygen Therapy**. This involves administering oxygen through a mask or nasal prongs at a specific flow rate prescribed by the healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of oxygen therapy will be determined by the medical team based on your grandfather's condition. It is crucial to follow their instructions closely to ensure optimal oxygen delivery to his body tissues.

I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

Question 6

I've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest. It's not painful, more like a tender or weird feeling. My heart's fine as far as I know, but I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be something else in the chest area? It's starting to worry me ...

Accepted Answer

Given your young age and lack of cardiac symptoms, it is most probably case of heartburn, or acute gastritis. Try to avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods for a few days, opt for a blander softer and blander diet. Avoid smoking if you are a smoker, and increase green leafy vegetables in your diet. You can take pantoprazole + domperidone capsules (Pan-D capsules) for a few days to help you with your heartburn. Drink plenty of water and stretch your muscles regularly.
