View allI 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'm dealing with mitral valve prolapse with some mild regurgitation, and I've been on Cardivas for my blood pressure. My doctor mentioned it might also help with MVP. However, I've been having issues with sexual dysfunction, so my doctor switched me to Nebicard. I'm curious which medication, Cardivas or Nebicard, is better for managing both my blood pressure and mitigating any sexual side effects. Any insights would be really helpful.
Both Cardivas and Nebicard are beta blockers commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. In your case, both medications can help with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with mild regurgitation by reducing the workload on the heart and helping to control heart rate. Regarding sexual dysfunction, some beta blockers like Cardivas can potentially cause sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Nebicard is a newer generation beta blocker that is less likely to cause sexual dysfunction compared to older beta blockers like Cardivas. Therefore, Nebicard may be a better option for you if sexual dysfunction is a concern. In terms of controlling blood pressure, both Cardivas and Nebicard are effective medications. However, Nebicard may be a preferred choice if you are experiencing sexual side effects with Cardivas. Ultimately, the decision between Cardivas and Nebicard should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, taking into consideration your individual health needs and any potential side effects you may be experiencing.

I'm a bit concerned because my LDL level is at 130.8. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to lower it? Do you think I need to start taking any medication?
LDL level of 130.8 mgdL is slightly above the optimal range. To decrease this level, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. If these measures are not enough, medication may be required. Medications like Atorvastatin (Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (Crestor) can be prescribed to help lower LDL levels. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for you.
