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.

I'm having trouble finding the medicine Olmesar 3D as per the prescription I received. The composition seems similar to Tri Olmesar 20 that I have. Can I safely take Tri Olmesar 20 instead, or should I continue searching for the exact medication? I'm a bit concerned about switching without guidance.

Yes you can take it no problem.

I've had a CBAG procedure back in 2006 and I'm currently on ATORVA 10 mg, but I'm wondering if it might be better for me to switch to Clopitorva A 75. Can you help me understand the differences and which might be more beneficial for my condition?

Ideally you have to take both,its better to have an openion with cardiologist
