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?

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 trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test (TMT) are valid. If I keep up a pretty active lifestyle, when would be a good time to consider getting another TMT done for just a regular check-up? Would love any advice on that!

I've been experiencing this weird sensation in the middle of my chest after I do just 10 minutes of exercise. It's not really painful, but it feels like a squeezing. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? I'm a bit worried.
take one pain killer and antacid if it reduces pain then its ok. Otherwise do one ECG

I'm really worried about the results from my ECG which said something about provocable myocardial ischemia, but I haven't had any cardiac symptoms of IHD. I'm only 48 years old and I'm not sure what this means for my heart health. Should I be concerned or do anything specific to address this?
It sounds like you have a positive exercise tolerance test (ITT) for provocable myocardial ischemia without any cardiac symptoms for ischemic heart disease (IHD) at the age of 48. In this case, you may benefit from starting a medication like Atenolol (50-100mg daily) to help reduce the workload on your heart and prevent further episodes of ischemia. Additionally, adding a medication like Aspirin (75-150mg daily) can help reduce the risk of blood clot formation in your coronary arteries. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
