I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?

Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've done an ECG, echo, and TMT test recently, and while everything seems normal, I'm still feeling this burning or electric shock sensation in my left arm, neck, shoulder, and back. Sometimes it feels like my chest is being pinched, and it seems like whatever I eat gets stuck in my throat. I don't have major breathlessness, but the palpitations and anxiety are really kicking in. How long are these test results valid for? I'm pretty worried, and I'm unsure who I should consult next since the doctor said everything's fine and no treatment is needed. What should I do?
The tests you mentioned (ECG, echo, TMT) are typically valid for a short period of time, usually a few days to weeks. Since your symptoms are persisting despite normal test results, it's important to consider other possibilities. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or acid reflux, which can sometimes mimic heart-related issues. To help with the burning sensation in your left arm, neck, shoulder, and back, as well as the feeling of something stuck in your throat, you can try taking antacids like **Tums** (dosage: 2 tablets as needed) for relief. For the chest discomfort and palpitations, you can take **Atenolol** (dosage: 25-50mg once a day) to help with the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek further medical advice for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've got some concerns about my cholesterol and liver enzyme levels. My total cholesterol is at 254 and LDL is 166. On top of that, my SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 120. My doctor is recommending statins, but I'm wondering if that's really necessary? Could I just stick to a healthy diet instead? Would love another perspective on this.
Yes you have to take statins and also follow healthy diet for better results,follow your doctors advice
