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 59-year-old female and recently experienced some pain in my left hand. I went to see the doctor, and he took an EKG. He then recommended an angiogram. Could you explain what an angiogram is and why it might be necessary for me? Should I be worried about this procedure?
The symptoms you are experiencing, along with the recommendation for an angiogram, suggest that your doctor may suspect a heart-related issue. The EKG and angiogram are common tests used to diagnose heart problems. It is important to follow your doctor's advice for further evaluation and treatment. For the left hand pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage the discomfort. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If you experience any worsening of symptoms or new symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

I'm currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?
Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.
