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'm currently taking Telma 40 in the morning and half a tablet of Ivabradine 5 in the evening, both after meals. I'm wondering if I could possibly take both the Telma and the half Ivabradine together in the morning after breakfast instead of spreading them out. Would that be okay?
Taking Telma 40 and Ivabradine 5 together in the morning after breakfast instead of at different times is not recommended. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule to ensure the effectiveness of the medications. Telma (Telmisartan) 40 should be taken in the morning after food, while Ivabradine 5 should be taken in the evening after food. It is best to follow the prescribed timing to achieve the desired therapeutic effects of both medications.

I'm trying to understand something that's been bothering me. What's the difference between sinus tachycardia and arrhythmia? And does having sinus tachycardia mean I have an arrhythmia? I'm really anxious about this and would appreciate some clarity.
Sinus tachycardia is a type of arrhythmia, but not all arrhythmias are sinus tachycardia. Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate in response to factors such as exercise, stress, or illness. It originates from the sinus node in the heart. On the other hand, arrhythmia is a broader term that encompasses any abnormality in the heart's rhythm. It includes conditions like atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and others. If you have sinus tachycardia, it means your heart is beating faster than normal, but it is still following a regular pattern.

I'm feeling a lot of heaviness in my chest and I'm having trouble breathing. It's like I can't take a full breath and whenever I try, it feels like it just stops and I can't hold it in for long. What could this be?
