Thanks for posting your query.

Well a positive TMT means there is some problem in the heart. To be more specific the blood flow to some part of heart is reduced due to obstruction ( partial ) in Coronary arteries ( blood vessel that supplies blood to heart )

The medications that have been prescribed is fine. But I would recommend you to go for an Angioplasty which will clearly tell how much of obstruction is present in Coronary arteries and if it's significant the doctor will simultaneously clear that obstruction.

Kindly ask your cardiologist for Angioplasty.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
