I'm experiencing some pain in the middle of my chest since last night. I think it might be related to stress and maybe even gastric issues. Should I be considering a heart checkup just to be safe, or is it okay to just monitor it for now?

It is important to rule out any potential heart issues, especially if you are experiencing chest pain. However, based on your description and suspicion of gastric-related pain due to work stress, you can start with an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for relief. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm a bit confused about the results of my TMT test. I didn't feel any chest pain during the test, and it said negative for inducible Ischaemia. But then my doctor mentioned the test was mildly positive. Does this mean I need to consider getting an angiogram?

yes as a prognostic tool you may undergo angiogram as advised.

My blood pressure has been low for the past 15 days never happened before. This is the first time. I also took some meds for wisdom tooth surgery recently. What should I do about it?

If your blood pressure has consistently been low for the past 15 days, especially after a recent wisdom tooth surgery, it's important to consult with your doctor or dentist. While a single instance of low blood pressure might be manageable with lifestyle adjustments, persistent low blood pressure could indicate an underlying issue. The medications you took for the wisdom tooth surgery could also be a contributing factor
