My dad just got a health check-up, and his TMT test came out positive. The doctor suggested we go for an angiogram, and I'm curious if we're on the right path here. Is there a possibility that the angiogram might show no blockages at all? Also, are there any risks we should be aware of when getting an angiogram?

Yes, you're on the right track. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) suggests that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart, and an angiogram is a standard follow-up to check for any blockages. It is possible that an angiogram might show no significant blockages; sometimes TMT results are positive due to other factors. Angiograms are generally safe, but they do carry minimal risks, such as bleeding, infection, or, rarely, an allergic reaction to the dye used.

I'm worried because last night my blood pressure was at 15790, so I took Amlong 2.5, but it didn't seem to work by the morning. I ended up taking a Nebicard 5mg without consulting my doctor, and by the evening, my BP came down to 12979. I'm a bit anxious about whether Nebicard 5mg is safe for me to use in such situations. Should I try Amlong 5mg instead, or is sticking with Nebicard better? I'm really unsure what to do and would appreciate some advice.
Nebicard 5 mg is advised SOS basis , rest continue all the medications as advised by the cardiologist..
