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.

View allI've been on Telmasartan 40 mg for 4 days now, and ever since, I've felt super tired and just too weak to do anything. My stomachs been feeling a bit bloated too. I've had high blood pressure and pulse for a while, like for over a year now, but Ive only been on medication for about 12 months. I'm starting to wonder if my body and heart got so used to the high blood pressure that they cant handle what's supposed to be normal. Should I stop the meds and just let my body deal with the high blood pressure, or should I stick with Telma and try to manage these side effects?
u have to continue bp medications , u cannot stop the bp medications .Salt restricted diet is advised .

I'm really stressed out because, for the past six months, I've been dealing with these panic attacks that make me super anxious. I'm a 28-year-old guy and generally healthy. A few days back, I saw a doctor who recommended I get an echocardiogram and some blood tests like CBC, creatinine, and RBS. When I went in for the Echo, I was really scared, and my heart was racing due to my phobia. The results came back mostly normal, except they mentioned something about TR mild with mild PAH. Should I be worried about this leading to complications? And what can I do to treat it?
