I'm 25 and went for a full heart check-up. My ECG and echo were both normal, but my first TMT test came back positive even though I didn't feel any pain or issues while exercising. I decided to take the TMT test again just to be sure, and this time it came back normal or negative. Why would the first TMT show positive? Do I need to look into this more or get further tests done?

The initial positive TMT result may be attributed to factors like dehydration, anxiety, or a false positive, especially since you didn't experience any symptoms during exercise and the repeat test came back normal; however, to confirm the absence of any underlying cardiac issues, consider discussing further evaluation with your cardiologist, such as a stress echocardiogram or a cardiac MRI, to rule out any potential concerns.

View allI'm really concerned about my dad. He recently had a TMT test, and it came back positive. But when they did the ECO and ECG tests, everything looked normal, and he hasn't mentioned any issues with breathing, whether he's running or walking. Can you help me understand why the TMT result was positive and what we should do next?
since tmt is positive,and echo and ecg is normal the causes of false positive tests could be due to electrolyte imbalances and also due to increased blood pressure .. could be the probable causes of tmt positive .Also a cardiologist opinion is advised

I've been having this pricking pain in my chest that isn't super intense, but it crops up when I'm on the treadmill or climbing stairs. I'm in my mid-20s and last week I saw a doctor about some chest discomfort. They thought it was acid reflux. What could be causing this? I also felt some pressure in my neck and shoulders that went away after a few minutes. Any ideas on what's going on? Should I be worried?
