What Causes Burning Sensation In The Food Pipe Despite A Normal ECG Report?
My mother is 53 years old. She is not diabietic and her BP is normal. There was burning sensation in her food pipe for two weeks we met gastro and asked to consult cardiologist. Her rest ECG and ECHO test result was normal but TMT test showed positive. Angiogram is required? Is she likely to have any block or CAD?

If TMT is positive, CAG is required to confirm or rule out CAD. Why don’t you trust your doctor?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
