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 really worried about my dad. He had two angioplasties earlier this year, and his doctor mentioned there's another vein blockage that might need treatment in the future, like 1-2 years from now. But now he's having pain again, and the doctor says we need to operate right away. I'm just wondering if it's safe to delay this procedure so I can get a second opinion from another doctor. Does it sound too risky to wait a little longer?
It is important to prioritize your dad's health and follow the advice of his current doctor. To manage the pain and prevent further complications, your dad can take medications like Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily and Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. However, it is crucial to consult with his doctor before making any decisions regarding postponing the angioplasty procedure.

I've been feeling some pain in my chest, shoulder, and back, and the doctor thinks it might be diastolic dysfunction grade one. Is this something serious? I'm really curious about whether this condition can be cured. Also, does what I eat or how much I exercise make a difference in dealing with this issue? The doctor gave me some medicine, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

My recent CRP levels came back high, and I'm pretty worried about what that means for my health. Is there a chance this could lead to something like a heart attack or even cancer? I'm not sure what steps I should take next. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?
Elevated CRP levels can indicate inflammation in the body, but it is not specific to any particular condition such as cardiac arrest or cancer. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.
