I'm really anxious about my mom's recent TMT test results. They came back as mildly positive and I'm not sure if that's a good sign or something we should be worried about. Can you help me understand what this might mean for her health?

View allI'm having this issue where whenever I increase my treadmill speed, I feel pain in the upper left side of my chest. I had a TMT and echo done just three months ago, and everything came back normal. I'm a bit concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?
This type of chest pain during exercise could be due to musculoskeletal causes or even acid reflux. However, since you have already had a normal TMT and echo, it is less likely to be related to the heart. I would recommend trying an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for possible acid reflux. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any musculoskeletal pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a 30-year-old with health anxiety and I've been tracking my heart rate. When I'm resting, it jumps between 50 and 65, but during sleep, it drops down to 48. However, whenever I stand up, my heart rate shoots up to over 100, sometimes even reaching 120. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about how much it fluctuates?
When standing, a heart rate above 100-120 beats per minute can be considered normal, especially if you are experiencing anxiety. However, it would be best to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your health anxiety. For anxiety, you can try relaxation techniques and therapy. In case of severe anxiety, medications like Sertraline (50mg daily) or Escitalopram (10mg daily) can be prescribed by a doctor.
