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.
