When should I consider getting a TMT test? Are there specific signs or symptoms that would mean I need one? I'm a 23-year-old guy and just want to understand when it might be necessary.

A TMT (Treadmill Test) is usually recommended for individuals who have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness during physical activity. It is also indicated for individuals with risk factors for heart disease such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking history. As a 23-year-old male without any symptoms or risk factors, a TMT may not be necessary at this time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease in the future.

So I got my ECG results and there's an RSR pattern showing up in lead 3 only, while everything else seems normal. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal variation? Could you help me understand what this might mean?

I've been having a heavy feeling and some pain on the left side of my chest, close to my heart, since this morning. I'm really concerned that it could be something related to my heart, even though I'm only 28. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something else?

yes an ECG along with cardiac markers are advised to the patient
