View allI'm really worried because my blood pressure isn't going back to normal even after taking my medication. It's been pretty stress-inducing, and I'm not sure which specialist I should see about it. Do you think a specific type of doctor would be better suited for treating this kind of issue?

I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test are good for. I had mine done about 28 days ago, and it was negative. I'm also curious about how long an ECG test stays valid. Can you help me out with this?
A treadmill test (TMT) result is typically considered valid for about 6 months to 1 year, depending on the individual's health condition and any changes in symptoms. Since your TMT was negative 28 days ago, it should still be considered valid. As for an ECG test, it is generally valid for a shorter period, usually around 1-2 weeks. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?
A 2D Echo is advised as a diagnostic procedure for heart blocks and other pathology..
