Question 1

I've been taking medicine for blood pressure for a few years now, and I'm 45. Lately, even short walks or a couple of stairs have been really tough. I used to handle longer walks and more stairs without any issues. I had an ECG done three months ago, and it looked normal. I don't have trouble just going about my day, but my blood sugar is kind of borderline too. I'm wondering what test would be better to figure out what's going onan echo or a TMT?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and medical history, it would be advisable to go for a TMT (Treadmill Test) to assess your cardiac function and determine if there are any underlying issues causing your symptoms. TMT is a stress test that helps evaluate how well your heart responds to exertion. It can provide valuable information about your heart's health and function, especially in cases where there are symptoms like shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance. It is a non-invasive test that can help in diagnosing any potential heart problems.
