I'm feeling really concerned about some symptoms I've been having lately. There's this persistent pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm, and it's been going on for about four months now. I did a TMT test three months ago and it came back negative, but I'm still worried. I got my ECG and Echo done a few days ago and was told it's anxiety. Could you take a look at the results I've attached and let me know what you think?

"Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it seems like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest and arm pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like diclofenac gel to the affected areas. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the pain persists, you should follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management."

View allI'm really worried about my mom. During her regular health checkup, they said she has a mildly positive TMT for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a max METS level of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 to a max of 164. Her blood pressure changed from 12078 to a max of 15090. They also found she has dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol of 216, HDL at 71, and LDL at 132. They advised her to take atorva and Ecospirin and to repeat the TMT after 6 months. I'm curious, is this something really serious? And does the medication usually help? Whats the next line of action after this?

I'm really worried about how sudden anxiety and a spike in blood pressure after getting some shocking news could cause a heart attack. Is this something that can actually happen, and how would I know if it's a real risk for me or someone I care about?
Sudden anxiety and high blood pressure can potentially increase the risk of acute cardiac events, including cardiac arrest. It is important to manage anxiety and blood pressure to reduce this risk. In such situations, medications like Atenolol can be used to control blood pressure and anxiety. The typical dosage of Atenolol for high blood pressure is 25-100 mg per day, as prescribed by a doctor.

I'm 25 and my blood pressure was 160100. Should I be worried about this? I spoke to a doctor and got prescribed Ciplar 40 for a month. Now my BP's gone down to 13090. What should I do next?
