View allI'm curious about how long the TMT test results are valid for. Are they considered accurate or reliable for a specific period, like one month, two months, or maybe six months? I just want to ensure I'm understanding it right.
The TMT (Treadmill Test) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the heart's response to exercise. The validity of a TMT test result depends on various factors such as the individual's medical history, risk factors, and current symptoms. In general, the validity of a TMT test result is not based on a specific time frame like 1 month, 2 months, or 6 months. It is more about the current health status of the individual at the time of the test. If you have concerns about the validity of a previous TMT test result, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm really worried about my cousin. Every time they're talking, they get this warm feeling in their left upper arm and chest. It feels kind of hot, and then there's pain in the upper arm, but it goes away after a while. Should we be concerned, or is this something that might be normal?
It seems unusual,visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate help
