I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

I'm a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?
A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm having this issue where whenever I increase my treadmill speed, I feel pain in the upper left side of my chest. I had a TMT and echo done just three months ago, and everything came back normal. I'm a bit concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?
This type of chest pain during exercise could be due to musculoskeletal causes or even acid reflux. However, since you have already had a normal TMT and echo, it is less likely to be related to the heart. I would recommend trying an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for possible acid reflux. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any musculoskeletal pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
