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 really puzzled because my ECG and echo results came back normal according to the doctor, but I'm still experiencing chest pain and sometimes pain in my left hand. I've attached my ECG report here. What might be causing these symptoms if all the tests show nothing wrong?

I'm a bit worried because I've developed a fever of 101F after taking the COVID vaccine, and I'm currently taking Dolo 650 for it. I have a history of high blood pressure and usually take Amodep in the morning and Telmikind 40 at night. I also use the Dulion Rotacap for my asthma. Is it safe for me to take my night dose of Telmikind 40 after Ive already taken the Dolo 650? Are there any interactions I should be concerned about? Also, my body is aching and my pulse rate is between 90 to 110. Should I be concerned about any of these symptoms?
After taking the COVID vaccine, you can take your prescribed medications, including Telmikind 40, as directed by your doctor; Dolo 650 (Paracetamol) and Telmikind 40 (Telmisartan) can be taken together, but ensure a 2-3 hour gap to minimize potential interactions; monitor your blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, and consult your doctor if you experience any concerns, such as a pulse rate exceeding 110 or severe body aches.

I'm looking over my cholesterol results and I'm trying to figure out what they mean. My total cholesterol is 198mg, triglycerides are at 236mg, HDL cholesterol is 40mg, non-HDL cholesterol is 158mg, and my LDL cholesterol is 130mg. Plus, the atherosclerosis index is 5. Does this report look alright, or is there something off? If there's a problem, should I be thinking about medication?
Based on these values, your cholesterol levels are not optimal. To improve your cholesterol levels, you can make lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient, medication may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. In your case, considering your lipid profile, a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor) may be recommended. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20mg once daily. However, the specific medication and dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.
