Question 1

I've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?

Accepted Answer

If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.

Question 2

I've been having this pricking pain in my chest that isn't super intense, but it crops up when I'm on the treadmill or climbing stairs. I'm in my mid-20s and last week I saw a doctor about some chest discomfort. They thought it was acid reflux. What could be causing this? I also felt some pressure in my neck and shoulders that went away after a few minutes. Any ideas on what's going on? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom having to go through an angiogram and possibly getting a stent. She's 60 years old and on the heavier side. Do you think she'll be able to handle the pain from the procedure? Also, are there any serious risks or complications we should be aware of? Any advice would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

At 60 years old, angiograms and stent procedures are routinely performed on patients in this age group, including those who are overweight. The procedure is generally considered safe when performed by experienced medical professionals, with serious complications being relatively rare (occurring in less than 1% of cases). However, like any medical procedure, there are some risks - these include bleeding at the catheter site, allergic reactions to the dye used, kidney problems, and in very rare cases, more serious complications. Your mother's doctors will carefully evaluate her overall health, including factors like her heart function, kidney function, and any other medical conditions, to ensure she can safely undergo the procedure. They'll also use appropriate pain management techniques during and after the procedure to keep her comfortable. The most important thing is to discuss any specific concerns with her healthcare team, as they know her complete medical history and can give personalized advice about her particular case.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 140100. I know that's considered high, and I'm wondering what medicine I should be taking for it. Is this something I need to be urgently concerned about? Should I see a doctor right away?
