I'm a bit worried about heart health and wanted to ask. What are some early signs I should watch out for that might suggest a heart attack? And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?

I had an angioplasty on February 14th, and they did it through my right arm. It's still hurting, and I can't stretch it properly. I've taken painkillers, but the pain just wont go away. What can I do about this?

Its common to experience pain and discomfort in the arm after an angioplasty, especially if the procedure was done through the arm. I recommend following up with your doctor to ensure there are no complications. In the meantime, gentle stretching and using a warm compress might help ease the pain.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He recently had a TMT test, and it came back positive. But when they did the ECO and ECG tests, everything looked normal, and he hasn't mentioned any issues with breathing, whether he's running or walking. Can you help me understand why the TMT result was positive and what we should do next?

since tmt is positive,and echo and ecg is normal the causes of false positive tests could be due to electrolyte imbalances and also due to increased blood pressure .. could be the probable causes of tmt positive .Also a cardiologist opinion is advised
