I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

I'm experiencing some discomfort on the left side of my chest and it's spreading to my left hand. The ribs in my chest are also aching. Could this be related to heart issues? I don't drink or smoke, so I'm really concerned about what might be causing this.

The symptoms you are describing, especially chest pain that radiates to the left hand, could be indicative of a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related chest pain. Please take one tablet while waiting for medical help.

I recently got my 2D Echo test results, and I'm trying to make sense of them. It mentioned things like mild thickening of the mitral valve, mild MR, mild concentric LVH, and that the chambers are normal with good LVRV function. There's also a mention of "No LV RWMA." I'm really wondering if these findings suggest a major issue with my heart or if it's more of a minor concern. I'm feeling a bit worried and would love some clarity on what this all means for my heart health.

MR treatment -diuretics,mital valve replacemet and repair .and blood thinners.like aspirin,brillinta,clopidogel and enoxaparin ,eliquis etc....
