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 had an echocardiography test yesterday, and it didn't hurt at all. But today, I'm feeling a bit of pain on the left side of my chest and my heart feels like it's beating more strongly when I'm lying down. Is this normal after having an echo?

It is not common to experience chest pain and a sensation of strong heartbeats after an echocardiography test. These symptoms could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain or anxiety. However, if you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...
