I've been experiencing some really strange sensations around my heart. It feels heavy, like my heart is beating too hard or could stop at any moment. Sometimes I even feel like an electric shock goes through my body. I've had an echo and TMT test, and both came back normal. The doctors say my heart is perfect and healthy, but I can't shake the feeling that I might have a cardiac arrest or heart attack at any time. I'm 18 years old and honestly, it's kind of freaking me out. Can you give me some advice or insights on what might be going on?

I'm a bit confused about my recent TMT test results since it came back negative. Can you explain what that means for me?
A negative TMT (Treadmill Test) result indicates that there were no significant abnormalities detected during the test. It means that there is no evidence of blockages or reduced blood flow to the heart during physical activity. This is a good sign for your heart health.
