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 a bit concerned because my LDL level is at 130.8. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to lower it? Do you think I need to start taking any medication?
LDL level of 130.8 mgdL is slightly above the optimal range. To decrease this level, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. If these measures are not enough, medication may be required. Medications like Atorvastatin (Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (Crestor) can be prescribed to help lower LDL levels. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.

I'm feeling a bit worried about a sensation I have in the middle of my chest, like something might be blocked. A few days ago, there was pain, but now it's just this light pressure, especially when I lay down. I also have this discomfort in my left breast, like something is blocked, but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. Could this be something serious, like a blood clot in my lungs or pulmonary embolism, or maybe myocarditis? The weird part is that exercise or taking a deep breath doesn't seem to bother it, but laying down sometimes makes me feel this fullness or pressure. What could it be?
It is important to evaluate your symptoms further to determine the underlying cause of your chest discomfort. The sensation of something being blocked in the middle of your chest, along with pressure and discomfort in the left breast, could be due to various reasons. While it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis without a physical examination and additional tests, the symptoms you described could potentially be related to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), musculoskeletal issues, or even anxiety. Given that you do not experience worsening symptoms with exercise or deep breathing, it is less likely to be related to a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) or myocarditis. However, it is still important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical examination, imaging studies, and possibly an ECG to rule out any cardiac issues. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter antacids for possible GERD symptoms and practicing relaxation techniques to help with anxiety-related symptoms.

I'm really concerned because I just found out I have a non-specific T wave abnormality and my blood pressure is pretty high. Is this something I should be worried about? Can I continue with my current treatment, or do I need to consider changing it?
Non specific T wave abnormality with high blood pressure can be concerning, as it may indicate underlying heart issues. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, it would depend on your overall health condition and the specific medications you are currently taking. If you are already on medication for high blood pressure, your doctor may adjust the dosage or add additional medications to better control your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and lifestyle modifications to manage your condition effectively.
