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've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side where my heart is, and sometimes it even happens on the right side. It doesn't stop there though; I've noticed random pains around my body, especially in my left arm and a bit in my left shoulder. I went to the doctor, and she told me my hearts fine and suggested it might be Acid Reflux. But I'm still worried because I've read that pain in the left arm and shoulder can signal a heart attack. Should I be concerned or look out for anything else?

I'm a bit concerned because when I place my hand on my chest, I can't feel my heartbeat. However, I can easily feel my pulse in the veins of my hand when I'm sitting quietly. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?
