I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

View allSo, I've been having this chest pain for a few months now, and I went through all the basic heart checks. My ECG was normal, but it showed Sinus tachycardia, and the TMT came back negative. The first time I did a 2D Echo, they mentioned Mild Concentric LVH, but when I repeated it a few days later, they didnt find any LVH. I even went for another 2D Echo at a different place, and again, they said there was no LVH. Is it common for results to differ like this? Could my chest pain still be related to my heart, and have I done enough tests to rule out any cardiac issues? Also, just to add, I dont smoke or drink.
It is possible for there to be discrepancies in medical imaging findings, especially when it comes to conditions like mild concentric LVH. However, since your ECG and TMT results are normal and there is no longer evidence of mild concentric LVH on your recent 2D Echo, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac in nature. It is important to consider other potential causes for your chest pain, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or even anxiety. To further evaluate your chest pain and rule out any other cardiac issues, you may consider discussing with your healthcare provider about other tests such as a stress echocardiogram, coronary CT angiography, or cardiac MRI. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and regular follow-ups with your doctor are important for your overall health and well-being.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been experiencing muscle twitching on the left side of his chest every now and then, like about once a week. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

My mom had an angioplasty last month, and she's been on medication since. We've been wondering about stopping Daxid 50 because she's feeling better, but we're worried about any possible side effects from stopping it suddenly and if it's a habit-forming medication. Could you provide some guidance?
It is important not to stop Daxid 50 (Sertraline) suddenly without consulting the doctor. Abrupt discontinuation of this medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, headache, fatigue, and irritability. It is recommended to gradually taper off the dose under the guidance of a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of withdrawal effects. So, please consult your mother's doctor before making any changes to her medication regimen.
