My grandfather, who's around 75, has been experiencing some discomfort in the upper left side of his chest just above his heart. He thinks it's probably related to acidity. The pain started just a few hours ago, and he's not on any regular medication. Should we be worried about this being something more serious? What would you recommend we do next?

View allI'm feeling a bit confused and worried because I recently had some tests done. My TMT came back mildly positive, but my CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram all showed normal results. What could be the main reason for the TMT result? Could there be other factors affecting it? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.
TMT (Treadmill Test) showing mildly positive results could indicate a possibility of coronary artery disease. However, since the CT angiography, ECG, and echocardiogram are all normal, other factors could be contributing to the mildly positive TMT result. These factors may include false-positive results, underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, or medication interference. To address the mildly positive TMT result and rule out any potential issues, your doctor may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medication like aspirin or statins may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is important to monitor your heart health.

My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?
