I've been noticing this fluttering feeling under my left breast and I'm not sure if it's my heart or something with my stomach. On top of that, I keep feeling hot and cold at the same time, and my feet are freezing, even with socks on. I struggle with bad anxiety and panic attacks, plus I'm bipolar, and I've been a hypochondriac since I was little. I'm constantly worried about having a heart attack. What could be going on?

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.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with anemia for the past five months, and then about a month ago, my heart test showed something called mild tricuspid regurgitation. Could the anemia be the reason for this heart issue? And if it is, what steps should I take to address it?

Anemia can sometimes lead to heart problems such as tricuspid regurgitation due to the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. To help treat your anemia and improve your heart condition, I recommend taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg once or twice daily, as well as Vitamin B12 supplements. Additionally, it is important to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, spinach, and lentils. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
