I'm a bit confused because I recently got a stress test done, and the results said it's negative for inducible ischemia during the TMT test. What does this really mean? Should I be worried or is this a good sign?

View allI've been really worried lately because my family and I just recovered from covid, but I've been having these weird symptoms. My chest hurts a bit, not too bad, but enough to notice, and my fingers and toes feel cold. I'm 18 and female, and the doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. But I can't help worrying that it could be something serious like a heart attack. How can I stop being so anxious about this?

I'm worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels; they're at 255 and 320. What lifestyle changes can I make to improve these? Also, are there any over-the-counter meds that are safe for bringing my triglycerides back to normal? I could really use your advice.
To lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, you should make the following lifestyle changes: - Follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. - Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. - Maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. As for over-the-counter medication to lower triglycerides, you can consider using fish oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can help reduce triglyceride levels. The recommended dosage is typically 1 to 4 grams per day, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.

I'm really concerned about this situation. I recently experienced chest pain and pain in my left hand, so I went to the doctor and had a TMT test done. The results came back positive for exercise-induced myocardial ischemia. What's confusing is that I had a CT Coronary Angiogram back in 2019 and everything was normal then. Could you help me understand what this might mean for my heart health now? I've attached my TMT and Angiogram reports for reference.
