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 a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?
A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest right below the breast. It's a bit worrying because it gets slightly worse when I take a deep breath, and now I can't even sleep on my left side because it hurts too much. Could you let me know what's going on or what I should do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.
