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 29 and feeling anxious about the possibility of having a heart attack. My blood pressure and blood sugar levels are normal, my TSH is normal too, I have no bad habits, and I weigh 55 kg. Is it still possible for me to have a heart attack?
It is uncommon for someone with your profile to have a heart attack at such a young age.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure and heart rate. My BP reading came out to be 14997, and my heart rate was 106. I'm hoping to avoid taking medication if possible. Do these numbers suggest any health concerns, and what can I do to get my blood pressure back to a normal range naturally?
To reduce your blood pressure without medication, you can try the following lifestyle changes: - Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables. - Limit alcohol intake and quit smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and keep a record to track changes. The blood pressure reading you provided (14997) is considered high and may indicate hypertension. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My father is 62 and needs a valve replacement but we're worried about open heart surgery. I heard about TAVR or TAVI as an alternative. Can you suggest hospitals in Mumbai that perform this procedure?
Several hospitals in Mumbai offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, as an alternative to open-heart surgery for valve replacement. Some of these hospitals include Hiranandani Hospital and Apollo Hospitals. It's important to consult with a cardiologist to determine if TAVR is the right choice for your father, considering his age, overall health, and the specific type of valve disease.
