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 worried about my blood pressure and want to make sure I'm using the right type of salt. Is rock salt a good option for someone with high blood pressure? And how much salt should I really be consuming each day to stay healthy?
For people with high blood pressure, it is recommended to use iodized salt with reduced sodium content. Rock salt, also known as Himalayan pink salt, is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure due to its high sodium content. The recommended daily intake of salt for adults is about 5 grams, which is approximately one teaspoon. It is important to monitor your salt intake to help manage high blood pressure.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for the past 8 months, since September. I've already done ECG, Echo, TMT, and various blood tests but everything came back normal. The pain comes and goes, but in the last few days, it's been bothering me again. On top of that, I'm experiencing body pain too. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you have been experiencing left side chest pain for quite some time, despite normal results from various tests. Since the pain has started again recently and you are also experiencing body pain, it may be helpful to try a medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for chest and body pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm wondering if these could be signs of a heart problem. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.
