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 a bit concerned about my health. My blood pressure is sitting at 13585. My cholesterol levels show 141 for cholesterol, 296 for triglycerides, 21 for HDL, 76 for LDL, and 59 for VLDL. My HDL cholesterol ratio is 6.73, and the LDLHDL ratio is 3.62. My blood sugar fasting level is at 91, and I have a mild fatty liver. I'm currently taking Olmity AM 25 and Stanlip 145, each one tablet daily. Is this the right treatment plan, or should I be considering any other medications? I'd appreciate your guidance on this.
Based on your current medication and health parameters, your blood pressure and lipid profile are within acceptable ranges. However, your HDL cholesterol levels are low, and your triglyceride levels are high. To address this, you can consider adding a medication like "Atorva TG" (Atorvastatin 10mg + Fenofibrate 160mg) to help improve your lipid profile. It is important to continue monitoring your levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?
Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..
