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 Venkatesh from Bangalore, and I'm trying to understand a recent 2D echo report for my mom. It mentions a "sclerotic aortic valve." I'm not familiar with this term and am a bit worried. Can you explain what this means for her health?
scelerotic aortic valve means thickened and stiffened valves is due to deposiyion of calcium. It is common in older patients..

I'm really concerned because I have a history of minoxidil poisoning and now I'm experiencing chest pain even when I'm just resting. I also feel like my heart starts beating really fast out of nowhere, like palpitations. I don't have a smoking history, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could this be related to the past poisoning, or should I be worried about something else?
Getting chest pain while resting and palpitations like symptoms can be concerning. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take aspirin 325mg for chest pain as it can help with heart-related issues. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.

I'm a bit worried about my health and would appreciate some advice. Recently, I've managed to reduce my high blood pressure in just 12 days, which is great, but now I'm experiencing some weird symptoms. Occasionally, I have this sharp chest pain on the left side that feels like I'm being poked with a needle. Sometimes it switches to the right side, and drinking water seems to trigger a bit of pain too. It feels like something's touching my chest inside. My shoulder also feels uncomfortable at times. I've also been passing a lot of gas and sometimes my throat feels really full. These symptoms are similar to what I experienced about two months ago. Does this sound like something serious?
The symptoms you describe, including high blood pressure, chest pain, shoulder discomfort, excessive gas, and a sensation of fullness in the throat, could be due to a combination of gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal factors, possibly exacerbated by anxiety. Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain and discomfort, while musculoskeletal issues could explain the needle-like pain and shoulder discomfort. To manage these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider to rule out serious conditions and confirm a diagnosis. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, stress reduction, and avoiding large or spicy meals, as well as medication like antacids for GERD and pain relievers for musculoskeletal pain. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly and following your doctor's advice on managing it is also important.
