I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

I'm worried because my wife has been taking Concor AM 5 and she's started experiencing some sweating and headaches. Could this be caused by the medication, or might something else be going on?

Your wife may be experiencing sweating and headache as side effects of Concor AM 5. These side effects are relatively common with this medication. I recommend consulting with her doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, she can try to stay hydrated and rest.

I'm a bit confused about the results of my TMT test. I didn't feel any chest pain during the test, and it said negative for inducible Ischaemia. But then my doctor mentioned the test was mildly positive. Does this mean I need to consider getting an angiogram?

yes as a prognostic tool you may undergo angiogram as advised.

We got all the tests donelike her echo, ECG, CT, and angiographyand the results came back normal. I'm just not sure what the next steps should be, or if there's more we should be looking into.
