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?

My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.

I've been experiencing this really strong heartbeat almost every day, and it's not like palpitations. It happens for no reason, even when I'm just sitting or trying to relax. It's so intense that, for a second, it feels like my heart has stopped. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be a reason for this?
