I'm really worried about my 62-year-old diabetic relative. He's had angina for over a year, and his ECG showed some troubling signs like a Q wave with T wave inversion. The echocardiogram was apparently normal, but the treadmill test came back positive, and the coronary angiogram revealed triple vessel coronary artery disease. He's stable now, thankfully, but they recommended PCI for the LCx and RCA. I'm just wondering what all this really means and where would be the best place for him to get this treatment? I'm feeling a bit lost here.

An angiogram is advised to the patient and a cardiac opinion..

I'm really puzzled about my situation. I've been getting a stress positive result on my TMT test for the last five years, even though my angiogram came back normal and I don't have any heart issues. I'm just wondering what steps I can take or medicines I might need to help me eventually get a stress normal result. Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm having this squeezing pain in my chest that's been going on for a couple of days now. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Any idea what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please take one tablet and chew it for faster absorption. Remember to seek urgent medical help for further evaluation and treatment.
