My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.

View allI'm a bit confused and worried because even though my TMT and ECG tests from 4 months ago were normal, I still feel a slight pain in my left arm and chest. I rarely drink, maybe just some wine occasionally, and I don't smoke. My blood test and chest X-ray came back normal, and I don't have any blood pressure or other health issues. What could be going on?
Considering your symptoms and ineffective response to Novamox 500, you may want to consider alternative antibiotics. However, *always consult your doctor before switching medications*. _Augmentin 625 Duo vs. Azithral 500_ Both are effective antibiotics, but: 1. *Augmentin 625 Duo*: A broad-spectrum antibiotic, often prescribed for tonsillitis. It's a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. 2. *Azithral 500*: A macrolide antibiotic, also effective against tonsillitis. Azithromycin is often prescribed for 3-5 days. Azithral 500 might be a better option if: - You're allergic to penicillin (Augmentin contains amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic) - Your tonsillitis is caused by a macrolide-sensitive bacterium However, *your doctor should determine the best course of treatment* based on your medical history, allergy status, and the severity of your symptoms.

I've recently had this weird thing happen three times in the last couple of weeks where I suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy. Two of those times, I was driving, which was pretty scary, and another time it happened while I was just watching TV. I'm kind of worried these could be signs of heart attacks or something else serious. Could you tell me what might be going on, and what kind of doctor I should talk to about this?
Episodes of sudden sweating and dizziness can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any serious issues, including heart problems. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions such as low blood sugar, dehydration, or anxiety. I recommend you to consult a Cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. They may suggest tests like an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test to assess your heart health. In the meantime, make sure to stay hydrated, eat regular meals, and avoid driving if you feel dizzy to ensure your safety.

I've been experiencing some occasional tingling or numbness on the left side of my chest, like maybe twice a week. It doesn't really hurt or anything. I've read online that it might be related to anxiety, but I don't feel anxious or stressed out. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or is it something normal?
Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..
