I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?

I'm really worried after getting my TMT test results from last month. It mentioned something about being mildly positive for provocable ischemia. Because of this, my term insurance got rejected, and I'm not sure if this is something serious. Could you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?
A mildly positive provocable ischemia test indicates temporary heart muscle reduced blood flow. Consult a cardiologist to: Immediate Steps 1. Discuss test results and concerns. 2. Undergo additional tests (e.g., echocardiogram, stress echocardiogram) for further evaluation. 3. Address potential risk factors (e.g., hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking). Potential Next Steps 1. Medications to manage risk factors. 2. Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management). 3. Re-evaluation after 3-6 months. Term Insurance Options 1. Appeal the rejection with additional medical reports. 2. Consider alternative insurance providers. 3. Explore group insurance plans. For personalized guidance, consult: 1. Cardiologist 2. Insurance expert 3. Primary care physician
