I've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?

If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.

View allI'm really worried about my 19-year-old daughter's ECG results. The report mentions things like 802 Sinus Tachycardia and 611 T Abnormality Flat T. I'm not sure what all this means and if there's anything serious that we should be concerned about. Could you help me understand if these findings indicate any major health issues? I'm feeling quite anxious and would appreciate any insights you could offer.

Can a treadmill test, 2D echo, or ECG detect an 80% heart blockage, or is an angiogram the only way to find this out? I'm really curious because I want to understand what these tests can actually show.
0% heart blockage cannot be directly traced by a treadmill test, 2D echo, or ECG. These tests can provide important information about the heart's function and structure, but they may not definitively show the extent of blockages in the coronary arteries. The gold standard for diagnosing blockages in the arteries is a coronary angiogram (angio). It is an invasive procedure where a dye is injected into the arteries to visualize any blockages. If you suspect significant blockages in your coronary arteries, it is best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a blood pressure reading of 15090 for the past few days, and I'm taking diltiazem 60 mg three times a day. Im a bit worried and wondering what I should do next. Any advice?
Your blood pressure of 15090 is still elevated despite taking Diltiazem 60mg three times a day. I would recommend adding an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. You can consider adding Amlodipine 5mg once daily to further lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
