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.

Neck Pain and Burping Symptoms _Possible Causes_ 1. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Burping and neck discomfort may be related to GERD, where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. 2. _Dysphagia_: Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of blockage in the neck could be causing your symptoms. 3. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Neck pain might be related to muscle strain or poor posture. _Recommendations_ 1. _Antacids or acid reducers_: Over-the-counter medications like antacids (Tums, Rolaids) or acid reducers (Zantac, Pepcid) may help alleviate GERD symptoms. 2. _Dietary changes_: Avoid trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or acidic), eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down after eating. 3. _Physical therapy_: Gentle neck stretches and exercises may help relieve musculoskeletal tension. 4. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions. _When to Seek Immediate Attention_ 1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe neck pain, difficulty swallowing, or vomiting blood, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm feeling this weird breathlessness when I lie down, but it goes away if I turn to my side. I don't have a cough or fever, and I consider myself pretty healthy otherwise. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm currently dealing with a blood pressure reading of 10871, which seems pretty normal. I usually take Telpres CT 4012.5 for my high blood pressure and Etizola Beta to manage my anxiety issues. With my blood pressure being in the normal range right now, I'm wondering if I should keep taking my blood pressure meds or if it's safe to stop them?
Your blood pressure is currently within the normal range. It is important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure is normal at the moment. Stopping medication abruptly can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. However, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication based on your current blood pressure readings. For now, continue taking Telpres CT 4012.5 for your blood pressure.
