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 allWhat does a bpm of 106 mean on an ECG test? Should I be really worried about this? Everything else seems to be in the normal range.
A bpm of 106 in an ECG test indicates a heart rate of 106 beats per minute. This heart rate is slightly above the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute, but it may not necessarily be a big concern, especially if other parameters on the ECG are within normal range. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

So my mom had a very mild case of COVID, and it's been over two weeks since she's recovered, but she's been having this slight chest pain every now and then. It doesn't last long, like about 34 minutes at most. Im kinda worried about what could be causing this. Any idea what might be going on?
Chest pain that comes and goes after recovering from COVID-19 could be due to inflammation of the chest wall muscles or costochondritis. I recommend she take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to figure out which medication I should take to get my blood pressure under control. I'm 105 kgs and 6 feet tall. My blood pressure reading is 140 over 80, and I'm wondering if that's considered severe. Could you recommend something for immediate relief?
To get your blood pressure under control, considering your weight and height, you can start with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. A blood pressure reading of 14080 is considered prehypertension, and it is important to take steps to lower it to prevent it from becoming high blood pressure.
