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.

I've been dealing with some serious chest pain for the last five months, and along with that, I've been feeling really weak and fatigued. My stamina has dropped a lot, and I get tired super quickly. On top of that, my heart races really fast. My resting heart rate is usually around 80 to 90, but if I start walking, it shoots up to 120, and just climbing two floors slowly takes it to around 160. Is this something to worry about? I had an ECG done, and it came back normal, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any insights on this would be really helpful.
Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking a combo of moduretic and lisinopril for a few years now, with 20mg of lisinopril and 5mg of moduretic. I'm 40 years old, weigh 120kg, and I'm 6ft tall. I try to stay active by working out three times a week. But anytime I push myself a bit, like getting to sleep late, having a few extra drinks, or dealing with stress, my blood pressure seems to get really resistant for days. Is there something I'm missing or should be doing differently?
