I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

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 dealing with grade 2 renal disease and would really appreciate some dietary advice. I'm already taking medications like Nefrosavenicardia 20mg and Aztar R. Is this enough, or should I be doing something else?
salt restricted diet ,DASH diet , fruits and green leafy vegetables and legumes is advised to the patient. Also fluid restriction is advised..since excess fluid intake may worsen the symptoms..

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and I recently got a reading of 121 over 68. I know that typically the lower number should be around 80, so I'm a little concerned. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I'm wondering if I should be worried about that lower number being 68. Could you give me some insight into whether this is normal or if I should be doing something about it?
A diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 68 mmHg is actually considered within the normal range, as the American Heart Association defines normal DBP as less than 80 mmHg, and a DBP between 60-79 mmHg is generally associated with better cardiovascular health, so your reading of 12168 mmHg is considered normal for a healthy 23-year-old male.
