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.

View allI've been getting this thumping sensation in my heart at pretty regular intervals, and every time it happens, I start feeling anxious. It's been going on for the past couple of days. Do you have any idea what might be causing it?
This sensation of a thump in your heart at regular intervals, along with feelings of anxiety, could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is pounding or racing. In some cases, palpitations can be caused by stress, anxiety, or stimulants like caffeine. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Tab. Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control the palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

My dad is 55 and just had a treadmill test that showed inducible ischemia. The doctor recommended an angio does this mean there's a blockage? Can this be treated with meds or will he need surgery? If it gets treated, could it come back later? Also, does this raise his risk of heart failure? Really concerned about what this means for him.
TMT positive suggests that certain part of the heart is not receiving adequate blood supply in the time of stress which means that there has to be some amount of blockage in the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart so 2 things should be done Medications like blood thinners cholesterol and others heart medication used to be started and will continue for at least a long time if not life long And a coronary or CT angiography needs to be done to check the percentage of blockage and the location and intensity of severity of disease according to to which the treatment will depend so I will advise you to get the above tests done as soon as possible because he carries a risk of eminent heart attack with TMT positive
