I recently had a TMT and an ECG done, and the ECG is attached for reference. The TMT report mentioned no ischemia, but I'm still getting some random chest pains, especially when I'm lost in thought. I've been given an antacid for it. How long is the TMT result considered valid?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The validity of a TMT (Treadmill Test) can vary depending on individual circumstances, but generally, it is valid for 1-2 years for individuals with a low risk of heart disease. Since your TMT report shows "No Ischemia" and you are experiencing random chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can continue taking the antacid as prescribed. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please consult your doctor for further assessment and management.

View allI'm wondering if there's any test that can confirm whether my bypass surgery was successful. Are there any scans or assessments I should consider to be sure everything's okay?
Yes, after a bypass surgery, a coronary angiogram can be done to assess the success of the procedure. This test involves injecting a special dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or abnormalities. Additionally, an echocardiogram can also be performed to evaluate the heart function and assess the blood flow. These tests can help determine if the bypass surgery was successful.

I've recently been paying attention to my heart rate and I'm not really sure if it's normal or not. Right as I was about to fall asleep, I checked my Apple Watch and saw my heart rate was around 50-60 bpm. Sometimes it speeds up quickly even though I don't work out much. I think maybe I'm dealing with anxiety or exam stress. Is this kind of thing normal?
Just as you were falling asleep, a heart rate of 50-60 bpm is within the normal range for adults at rest. However, if you are experiencing rapid increases in heart rate due to anxiety or stress, you may benefit from a beta-blocker medication like Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg taken 3-4 times daily. It can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heart rate.

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 53 and just had a CABG bypass surgery. I noticed his platelet count shot up quite a bit, like it was 3.9 lakhs before surgery and now it's 9.3 lakhs, and Im concerned about whether thats normal after surgery. There wasn't any blood transfusion done. Can someone shed some light on what might be happening here?
It is not uncommon for platelet counts to be elevated after surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This condition, known as postoperative thrombocytosis, typically occurs as a response to surgery and the body's healing process. However, a significant increase such as from 3.9 lakhs to 9.3 lakhs should be monitored closely by his healthcare team to rule out any complications. I recommend discussing this with your father's cardiologist or primary care physician to ensure proper follow-up and management.
