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?

View allI'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?
Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence

I'm 42 and my doctor just recently told me I have high blood pressure, so I've been taking TetanH and it's helped to get it under control. I'm thinking about trying intermittent fasting because I've heard it might help with lowering blood pressure too. Do you think that's a good idea for me? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects from using TetanH over a long period. Can you give me some advice on this?
It's great to hear that your blood pressure is now under control with Tetan-H. Intermittent fasting can potentially help lower blood pressure, but it's essential to approach it cautiously, especially when you're on medication. Before starting any new diet regimen, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's safe given your specific health condition. Regarding Tetan-H, which contains telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, it can have some long-term side effects like any medication. These may include dizziness, increased uric acid levels, or kidney function changes. Close monitoring by your doctor can help manage any potential side effects.

I'm a 41-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this chest pain on my left side along with some breathing issues for about 20 days now. I had an ECG and Stress Echo, and both came out normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this pain since it's been going on for so long. Can you recommend any medications or maybe some other tests that might help figure out what's going on? I'd really appreciate any guidance you can offer.
