I've been feeling some chest discomfort lately and it's got me a bit worried. Back in 2013, I had an angiography after a positive TMT test, but everything was perfectly clear then. Now, my TMT test has come back positive again. I'm wondering what steps I should take next. Do you think I might need another angiography, or is there another approach I should consider?

If you are experiencing chest discomfort and your TMT test has come back positive again, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Another angiography may be recommended to assess the current status of your coronary arteries and determine the appropriate treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help manage your symptoms.

View allI've been noticing this feeling of palpitations or a flickering sensation in my chest about two or three times a day, and it lasts between 5 to 10 seconds. I had some tests done, like an ECG, an echo, and a TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or is this something that can happen even if those tests are alright? Is there anything else I should consider or do?
Experiencing palpitations or flickering in the chest for brief periods, despite normal ECG, echo, and TMT results, is often benign and can be related to factors such as stress, caffeine intake, anxiety, or hormonal fluctuations. While these sensations can be unsettling, they are usually not a cause for concern if cardiac tests are normal. To manage these symptoms, consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing stress-relief techniques such as mindfulness or yoga, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep. If the palpitations persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss additional monitoring, such as a Holter monitor, to capture intermittent episodes.

Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
