I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

View allI'm trying to figure out the difference between the MK4 and MK7 forms of vitamin K2. I'm particularly concerned about which one might be more beneficial for cardiovascular health. Can you help clarify this for me?

Ive got rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimotos. I just had an ECG at a walk-in clinic for a pre-op check-up and it showed non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement. Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried and see a cardiologist about it?
The non-specific T wave abnormality and possible left atrial enlargement on your ECG could be indicative of various conditions, including cardiac issues such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial ischemia, or structural heart disease. Given your medical history of rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and Hashimoto's, it is important to further evaluate these findings. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a more detailed assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, it would be beneficial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and ensure that your rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's are well controlled. If any symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath occur, seek immediate medical attention.
