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 36 and dealing with high cholesterol, but my heart checkup in May 2019 was all clear except for that. Just a couple of days ago, I suddenly got dizzy and sweaty during dinner, but I didn't have chest pain or trouble breathing. When I went to the hospital, they did two ECGs a couple of hours apart, and the doctor noticed some changes. They said my blood Troponin levels were negative though. Should I be worried about these changes in the ECG? Is it something I need to look into further?
Based on the information provided, it is important to follow up on the changes noted in your ECG to rule out any potential cardiac issues. The presence of dizziness and sweating, along with ECG changes, warrants further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, to help manage your high cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider."

I'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?
At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG report shows something called right axis deviation. But, I have normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and my heart rate is usually under 80. Is this something I should be worried about?
