I've been a smoker and drank alcohol almost every day for the past decade, dealing with high cholesterol and triglycerides all this time. I just started medication for these issues. Recently, I had a 2D echo and TMT that both came back normal. Can I assume everything's okay with my coronary arteries if both tests look good, especially now that I've quit smoking and drinking?

Based on your recent normal 2D echo and TMT results, it is a positive indication that there may not be significant coronary artery disease present. However, it is important to continue monitoring your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle without smoking and alcohol consumption. Additionally, regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure your cardiovascular health remains optimal.

View allI'm dealing with mild MVP and my MREF is at 60 percent. I've got a lot of anxiety and my stomach's frequently upset. Occasionally, I get palpitations, especially when I'm stressed out. What can I do to get rid of these symptoms?
based on your symptoms of mild mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with grade 1 mitral regurgitation (MR), anxiety, stomach upset, palpitations, and increased anxiety in stressful situations, I recommend the following treatment plan: 1. For anxiety, you can take a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like Sertraline 50mg once daily. 2. For palpitations, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily. 3. For stomach upset, you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. 4. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. 5. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco as they can worsen anxiety and palpitations. 6. Follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms

I'm really worried because I was initially diagnosed with high blood pressure at 14690 due to stress and overworking, but it dropped to 14090 the next day. My doctor put me on Amfirst AT, and after taking it for a week, my blood pressure became really low at 11070. I don't usually have issues with blood pressure, and I think the medication made it too low. What should I do now?
It seems like the medication Amfirst AT, which contains Amlodipine and Losartan, has lowered your blood pressure too much. You should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure.

Sometimes I get this feeling of tiredness and shortness of breath that usually lasts for a few days. I've been experiencing it on and off for the past couple of years, but there are no other symptoms accompanying it. Im a 34-year-old male, and Ive had my ECG, echo, and lipid profile checked, and everything came back normal. Could there still be a chance of a heart issue, and is there any other test I should consider?
There may still be a possibility of underlying cardiac issues. To further investigate, you can consider undergoing a stress test (TMT - Treadmill Test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity and detect any abnormalities that may not be present at rest. Additionally, a Holter monitor can be used to monitor your heart's activity over a 24-48 hour period to capture any irregularities that may not show up during a standard ECG. These tests can provide more insights into your cardiac health beyond the initial screening tests you have already done.
