I've been experiencing this sharp pain on the left side of my chest that only lasts a few seconds, but it's got me worried. On top of that, my chest feels heavy, and my eyes just feel really tired. Should I be concerned about this? What could it mean?

I'm kind of worried because my recent TMT test was mildly positive, yet my cholesterol, BP, and ECG results were all normal. My doctor is suggesting an angiogram, but it's pretty expensive for me. Do you think it's really necessary to go through with it?
A mildly positive TMT test result, especially when other parameters like cholesterol, blood pressure, and ECG are normal, may indicate a potential issue with blood flow to the heart. An angiogram is considered the gold standard for evaluating blockages in the coronary arteries. However, in some cases, additional non-invasive tests such as a CT coronary angiography may provide further information before proceeding with an invasive procedure. It is important to discuss the necessity and potential alternatives with your doctor based on your individual health situation.

Is there a difference in total lipid profile results when a test is done fasting versus non-fasting? A week ago, I got my lipid profile checked and all the parameters were within the range. But after taking another blood test post-meal seven days later, the values were outside the desired range. Could you guide me on whether fasting or non-fasting results are more accurate?
There won't be much variation, ideally fasting results and considered to be valid, In your scenario, that could be lab error also, visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
