I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
