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 allCan a 2D echo test spot blockages in the arteries? I've been told I should get one, and I'm wondering if it will actually help in detecting any issues with my heart. Just trying to figure out what exactly this test is going to show.
A 2D echo test, also known as an echocardiogram, primarily evaluates the structure and function of the heart. While it can provide valuable information about the heart's pumping function, valves, and chambers, it may not be the most effective test for detecting blockages in the arteries. To specifically assess blockages in the arteries, your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests such as a stress test, coronary angiography, or CT angiography. These tests are more specialized in detecting blockages in the arteries.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."

I'm wondering if an ECG can actually catch all heart-related problems. I just had an ECG done and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Is it still possible that I could have some kind of heart issue even if the ECG didn't show anything?
A normal ECG result does not completely rule out all heart problems. While an ECG is a valuable tool in detecting certain heart conditions, it may not always detect all types of heart problems. It is possible to have heart issues that are not evident on an ECG. If you have concerns about your heart health, it is important to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.
