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.

Hey, I went to the doctor and got tested for heart palpitations, but everything came back normal. I'm supposed to go back in January, but today I experienced heart palpitations for about 40 minutes, and my heart rate was at 130. I felt really hot and a bit faint. I'm on my period, been feeling super stressed, and my eating habits haven't been great these past few weeks. Is this something normal because of all that, or should I be worried?

I'm a bit worried because my heart rate has been consistently between 105 and 110 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. It's been like this for the last 20 days. Can you tell me what's going on and if I should be concerned?

I'm really confused about my TMT report. It says the test is negative, but one doctor mentioned it might actually be positive. The cardiologist did an echo test too, and that turned out normal. He said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand if there's anything in the TMT that I should be worried about?

If the report mentions TMT negative, it indicates a normal result where no significant changes were observed during the test. Since your cardiologist also conducted an echo test which came back normal and reassured you that there is nothing to worry about, it is unlikely that there is a cause for concern regarding your TMT results. It is important to follow your cardiologist's advice and continue with any recommended follow-up appointments or tests. If you have any further concerns, please consult with your cardiologist for personalized advice.
