I'm 25 and went for a full heart check-up. My ECG and echo were both normal, but my first TMT test came back positive even though I didn't feel any pain or issues while exercising. I decided to take the TMT test again just to be sure, and this time it came back normal or negative. Why would the first TMT show positive? Do I need to look into this more or get further tests done?
The initial positive TMT result may be attributed to factors like dehydration, anxiety, or a false positive, especially since you didn't experience any symptoms during exercise and the repeat test came back normal; however, to confirm the absence of any underlying cardiac issues, consider discussing further evaluation with your cardiologist, such as a stress echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI, to rule out any potential concerns.

Can you help me understand if it's normal for me to actually see my chest and stomach move with my heartbeat? I've never noticed this before and it's kind of freaking me out. I've had an ECG and my heart rate checked, and they were both normal. What's going on here?
It is normal to see some movement in the chest and stomach with each heartbeat, especially in individuals with a thinner body build. This is known as the cardiac impulse. Since your ECG is normal and heart rate is also normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue to monitor any changes in your symptoms.
