I'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm a 27-year-old male, and I've been having some pain on the left side of my chest along with pain in my upper back and sometimes in the left side of my neck. It's been a real mixed bagsometimes it's a dull ache, other times it's much worse. About a month ago, I had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT done, and everything came back normal. My lipid profile and high-sensitive troponin levels were normal too, and even my chest X-ray didn't show anything unusual. But this has been going on for the last 10 months now. I'm trying to figure out if this pain might be related to my heart, my lungs, a muscle issue, or maybe just gas. Should I think about repeating the heart-related tests, or what do you recommend as the next step?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal results of your previous heart-related tests, it is less likely that the pain is heart-related. The pain in your left chest, left upper back, and neck could be musculoskeletal in nature, possibly due to muscle strain or inflammation. It could also be related to gas or indigestion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen and applying heat or ice to the affected areas. Additionally, practicing good posture and gentle stretching exercises may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation. They may recommend physical therapy, muscle relaxants, or other medications such as ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. It is not necessary to repeat the heart-related tests at this point, given your recent normal results. However, if you experience any new or concerning symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice promptly."

I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

Is this blood pressure reading considered high? I've been doing a lot of driving over the last 3 to 4 days, and I'm worried it might be affecting my BP. What can I do to bring it down?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after periods of increased stress or physical activity. To help reduce high blood pressure, you can try taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) at a dose of 5mg once daily. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing high blood pressure.
