View allI'm a bit worried about my dad's recent test results. The doctor recommended a 2D echo and a treadmill test for him. The 2D echo came back normal, but the treadmill test showed a positive stress result. I've heard that only 4 out of 10 times, these TMT tests are accurate, which is kinda freaking me out. If one test is normal and the other one isn't, does that mean there's something to be concerned about? Could you shed some light on this?
If TMT is normal Better to under screening Angiogram,do not neglect,visit Cardiologist for the same

I'm really concerned about this persistent pain in my left arm that's been going on for around two months. I've had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the doctor said everything looks good, but its still there. I found out my triglyceride cholesterol levels are a bit high, around 300. I've been on Rosufit10 for about the same time, but I'm not sure how long I need to keep taking it. I tried taking Gabapin Plus 100 for the muscle pain, did it for a month, but that didnt seem to help much. Now I'm considering going for a CT angio to get a clearer picture. Are there any side effects or risks I should know about?
For your high triglyceride levels, continue taking Rosufit10 as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, statin medications like Rosufit10 are taken long-term to manage cholesterol levels effectively. - Since Gabapin Plus 100 did not help with your muscle pain, you may discuss alternative medications with your doctor. They may consider prescribing a different muscle relaxant or pain reliever based on your specific symptoms. - CT angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical test, it carries some risks. These risks include exposure to radiation, potential allergic reactions to contrast dye, and a small risk of kidney damage in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions. It's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal T wave, and now they've told me to see a cardiologist. I'm not sure how serious this is. Should I be worried, and what should my next steps be?
In ECG, an abnormal T wave can indicate various heart conditions. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as beta-blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management are also important. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.
