I'm thinking about doing a TMT in a week since I've had hyper acidity issues. I've already done tests like a thyroid profile, ECG, and echo, and everything came back normal. A friend suggested I should consider a TMT as well. Do you think there's a chance it might show something positive?

A TMT (Treadmill Test) is commonly used to assess the heart's response to stress and can help diagnose coronary artery disease. Given that your thyroid profile, ECG, and echo are normal, the chances of a positive TMT result are lower. However, it is still important to proceed with the TMT as advised. If you experience hyperacidity during the test, you can take antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg before the test to help manage the symptoms.

I'm currently taking Losanorm 25mg for hypertension. What situations warrant an increase in dosage? Could you please provide guidance on this?

The usual starting dose of Losanorm for hypertension is 25mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg once daily. High doses of Losanorm may be required for severe cases of hypertension or if lower doses are not effective in controlling blood pressure. However, the specific conditions for high doses of Losanorm should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual medical history and response to the medication.
