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.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 58 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now and taking Tamson 40 for the past 8 years. In addition to that, for the last 3 years, she's been on Atorfit CV 10 for some heart problems. The doctor recommended she stay on Atorfit CV 10 for life, but I'm worried. Is taking this medicine for life safe for her? Shes still active and does all our housework daily. Would love some guidance on this!

I'm having trouble getting my Telpres LN 40 prescription for my blood pressure because my doctor is unreachable and the local pharmacy doesn't have it. Could you recommend a good alternative? I'm a bit worried about not having my medication.

I'm experiencing some pain in my chest on the right side of my body, especially when I take a deep breath. It's hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but it feels like it's near the upper part of my back. The pain gets intense with certain movements and when I breathe deeply. This happened about a year ago too, and the doctor did an ECG, but everything checked out fine back then. I don't have any other symptoms, and everything else seems normal. Could it be from bad posture while sleeping or sitting, or maybe it's a severe acidity problem? What do you think is causing this?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test(PFT).
