Possible Causes of a Mildly Positive TMT
- This result can be due to mild coronary artery disease or other heart-related issues that may not yet be severe.
Potential Risks Associated
- Risks include progression to more significant heart disease, increased risk of angina, or heart attack if not addressed.
Next Steps and Further Evaluation
- Follow-up tests like echocardiography, stress imaging, or coronary angiography are crucial to clarify the diagnosis.
Lifestyle and Medical Management
- Consider lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, and discuss medications like aspirin or statins with your doctor to reduce risks.

I'm really concerned because my blood pressure has been stuck at 150100 for a while, and I've been taking Cilicar T, Minipress XL, and D Veniz for the past two years. My doctor says I have essential hypertension after checking my kidneys, eyes, and everything. Should I be worried about this? Can you suggest ways to lower it? I'm also dealing with anxiety and it's kinda overwhelming... Really need some advice here.

Your blood pressure of 150100 indicates hypertension. Since you are already taking Cilicar T, Minipress XL, and D Veniz, your doctor has diagnosed you with essential hypertension. To further lower your blood pressure and manage your anxiety, you can consider adding Amlong (5mg) to your current medication regimen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, can help reduce your anxiety levels and further improve your blood pressure control. Remember to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your blood pressure and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
