I recently had a TMT and an ECG done, and the ECG is attached for reference. The TMT report mentioned no ischemia, but I'm still getting some random chest pains, especially when I'm lost in thought. I've been given an antacid for it. How long is the TMT result considered valid?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The validity of a TMT (Treadmill Test) can vary depending on individual circumstances, but generally, it is valid for 1-2 years for individuals with a low risk of heart disease. Since your TMT report shows "No Ischemia" and you are experiencing random chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can continue taking the antacid as prescribed. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please consult your doctor for further assessment and management.

View allI'm Priyanka, and I'm a bit concerned about my health. My TMT test showed inconclusive results regarding ischemia. I'm also looking at my lipid profile, which shows total cholesterol at 172, triglycerides at 172, HDL at 42, and LDL at 95.5. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health and suggest any steps I should take? I've been feeling unwell, and I'm not sure what to do next.
Hello Priyanka, based on your test results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing some cardiovascular issues. I would recommend starting treatment with a statin medication to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. You can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve your lipid profile and reduce the risk of ischaemia. Additionally, you should focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to further improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm really worried about the low blood pressure issue. Even though we're trying everything like ORS, his blood pressure just stays low. It's been causing him a lot of problems like feeling weak and dizzy, and I'm not sure what else we can do since it's not getting better. Are there any medications that could fix this problem for good, so he can stop feeling so awful?

I've been dealing with palpitations and high blood pressure diagnosed at 140 over 90 around four months ago. They did an ECG and ECHO, and those came back normal. I was prescribed Telma 20 and Ivabradine 5mg for the BP and palpitations. I recently stopped taking Telma 20 for a few days to keep an eye on my BP, and it settled at a constant 130 over 76. Do you think I should stop taking the BP meds altogether, or is it better to keep going with them? I've also made some lifestyle and diet changes. What do you suggest?
Yes you can stop the drug and check your BP daily for 2 weeks if its maintained normal,you can pause the drug an dcontinue healthy life style
