View allI'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 55 and during her recent health check-up, the TMT showed she's mildly positive for inducible ischemia. Her report mentioned that she exercised for 8 minutes, reaching a maximum METS of 10, and her heart rate went from a resting 70 bpm to a max of 164 bpm, which is 99% of her predicted maximum for her age. Plus, her resting BP was 12078 mmHg and it went up to 15090 mmHg. Can you help me understand what all this means and how serious it might be?
tmt report is normal.
