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.

I keep waking up with chest pain in the morning. I've already had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and everything came back normal. I'm currently taking acidity tablets. Sometimes I even feel a pinning sensation in my chest. Do you have any advice on how I can make this pain go away?

I'm experiencing a high heart rate at intervals. What could be causing this? I don't have any symptoms related to COVID.

High heart rate in periodic breaks can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25mg) to help regulate your heart rate.
