I'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry. My cholesterol is at 240 and my blood pressure is around 13090. My sugar levels are almost normal and I weigh 70 kgs with a 5.5 height. I follow a light veg South rice diet and don't eat meat. What's causing this chest pain and geyser-like hot sensation? It's really unsettling and causing me some social anxiety. I'm not married and I don't really have much of a social life. What should I do?

I'm a bit worried after getting my TMT results back. It came borderline positive for inducible ischemia with max METS at 9.40 and some mild STT changes in the inferolateral leads. Does this mean there's a serious issue with my heart? Is the positive stress test something to be very concerned about, or could there be less serious reasons for these results? What should I be doing next?

I'm really worried about my grandma. She's 87 and has no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease; but she recently had a silent heart attack. She started complaining of breathlessness a few days later, and tests showed a weakened heart. They treated the pulmonary edema with lasix, and her pulse saturation seems stable now. Should we consider going for angioplasty?
