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.

I've been experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, almost like there's an airlock or something, but it's not painful. It's more of a discomfort, especially when I'm trying to sleep. Is this something I should be worried about?

Does Tea raise blood pressure?

Any acute effects of tea on blood pressure did not translate into significant alterations in ambulatory blood pressure during regular tea consumption.

I'm a bit confused about how often someone should get a 2D Echo and ECG if they're feeling perfectly fine. Should it be done once a year or more? And what if someone starts showing symptoms; how does that change things? Would love to get a bit more clarity on this.

For a healthy person without any symptoms, it is generally recommended to do a 2D Echo and ECG once every 1-2 years for routine screening. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate testing frequency.
