Question 1

When should I consider getting a TMT test? Are there specific signs or symptoms that would mean I need one? I'm a 23-year-old guy and just want to understand when it might be necessary.

Accepted Answer

A TMT (Treadmill Test) is usually recommended for individuals who have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness during physical activity. It is also indicated for individuals with risk factors for heart disease such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking history. As a 23-year-old male without any symptoms or risk factors, a TMT may not be necessary at this time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease in the future.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I did a routine ECG and it mentioned Normal Sinus Rhythm with a Right Bundle Branch Block and labeled it as an abnormal ECG. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about the Right Bundle Branch Block? Is it something serious?

Accepted Answer

I can explain what these findings mean. A Normal Sinus Rhythm means your heart's basic electrical pattern is normal, with impulses starting in the right place (the sinus node). Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) is a fairly common condition where there's a delay in the electrical signal as it travels to the right side of your heart. While the ECG is marked as "abnormal" due to the RBBB, this finding can be completely benign in many people, especially if you have no symptoms. However, since I can't see your actual ECG and don't know your medical history, it would be best to discuss these results with your healthcare provider. They can properly interpret the findings in the context of your overall health.

Question 3

I'm really concerned because I've noticed my heartbeat is pretty low, around 44 beats per minute. There are moments when I feel completely exhausted, and at times, it's hard for me to breathe, almost like I might pass out. It's really scary. Could this be something serious? What should I do?

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

yes u can take crestor 5mg , both the medications composition is the same...
