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've been wearing a Holter monitor for three days because I've been having these palpitations. I got the report back and it mentions something about arrhythmia. Is this something I should be worried about or is it considered normal?
Hi, wearing a Holter monitor for three days is a common way to monitor heart activity for palpitations. Arrhythmias can be detected in such monitoring, and it is important to review the specific type and frequency of arrhythmias mentioned in your report. Depending on the type of arrhythmia detected, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mgday) to help manage the palpitations and regulate your heart rhythm. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss the findings of the report and any recommended treatment options.

I'm a 24-year-old male and I've been feeling this strong heartbeat when I'm sitting or lying down. It's like I can feel it in my stomach and chest for the past three days. I'm worried if this is something serious or just normal? A couple of months ago, I had some heart tests done like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything came back normal, including my lipid profile. But now my stomach seems to be moving with my heartbeat. Is this something I should be worried about?
based on your description and previous evaluations, it is possible that you are experiencing palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since your heart evaluation tests were normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart condition. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try reducing your caffeine intake, practicing stress-reducing techniques, and ensuring you are well-hydrated. In case the symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, if the symptoms persist or become more concerning, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because my recent ECG shows a shortened PR interval of 107 ms, and my 2D echo indicates it's 200 GM. I've been diagnosed with mild LVH and currently take Revelol XL 50 and Newtel 20. I'm curious about the risks of having a PR interval less than 120 ms. Do you think I should get more tests?
The PR interval on your ECG report being lower than 120 ms indicates a shortened PR range. This can be a sign of an underlying heart condition. Considering you have mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and are currently taking Revelol XL 50 (Metoprolol) and Newtel 20 (Telmisartan), it is important to monitor your heart health closely. To address the risk of a shortened PR interval, it is advisable to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation. Additional tests such as a Holter monitor, stress test, or cardiac MRI may be recommended to assess your heart function more comprehensively. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action based on your individual health status.
