I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

I've been having sweating and breathlessness when going up the stairs, and there's some numbness in my palm along with a light pain in my chest. I talked to a cardiologist who's pretty experienced, and after checking out my echo report, they've suggested I get an angiography. I'm really unsure about whether I should go through with it. Could you give me some advice on this? I would really appreciate a quick response.

Based on your symptoms and the recommendation of your cardiologist, undergoing angiography would be important to assess the condition of your heart vessels. This procedure can provide detailed information about any blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying your heart. It will help in determining the best course of treatment for your condition. Please follow your cardiologist's advice and proceed with the angiography as recommended.
