I'm really concerned about this situation. I recently experienced chest pain and pain in my left hand, so I went to the doctor and had a TMT test done. The results came back positive for exercise-induced myocardial ischemia. What's confusing is that I had a CT Coronary Angiogram back in 2019 and everything was normal then. Could you help me understand what this might mean for my heart health now? I've attached my TMT and Angiogram reports for reference.

View allI'm a little concerned about my ECG results. I did one using a portable ECG device and it says "Sinus Rhythm," but Im not sure if that means everything is actually okay. Is this considered clinically normal or should I be worried about something else?
Sinus Rhythm on ECG indicates normal heart rhythm. However, to determine if the ECG is clinically normal, other factors need to be considered such as symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. If there are no other concerning findings, the ECG can be considered normal.

What is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

I'm really worried about some health stuff. I recently took a test that showed mild PAH, and I'm wondering if that's something I need to be concerned about. Ever since I moved to India from Australia, my anxiety has gotten really bad. I've had a pulse of 134 a few times, especially during the lockdown and just yesterday because I was so tense. I'm 33, 4 ft 8 in, and weigh 44 kilos. I eat really healthily, avoiding processed foods and carbs. Should I be worried about these things or am I overthinking it?
Mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can be a cause for concern, but its impact varies depending on the underlying cause and overall health. Elevated heart rates during periods of tension and anxiety are not uncommon and can exacerbate feelings of discomfort. Given your history of anxiety, its important to manage stress effectively and monitor your heart health. Since you have a history of mild PAH and experience significant anxiety, it would be beneficial to discuss this with your cardiologist and possibly a mental health professional. They can help monitor your condition and provide strategies to manage anxiety, which can, in turn, help stabilize your heart rate. Techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or medication might be recommended.
