I'm a bit confused about my recent TMT test results since it came back negative. Can you explain what that means for me?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A negative TMT (Treadmill Test) result indicates that there were no significant abnormalities detected during the test. It means that there is no evidence of blockages or reduced blood flow to the heart during physical activity. This is a good sign for your heart health.

I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?
From the symptoms you have described, along with your normal TMT, ECHO, and ECG results, it is important to consider other possible causes for your chest pain, left hand pain, headache, and dizziness. Given your elevated blood pressure readings, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to hypertension. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I suggest starting with an antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and potentially alleviate your symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Remember to also follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and prioritize regular physical activity to improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm worried about my health because my total cholesterol level is 162 mgdL. Could this mean I might have a blocked artery? I've been experiencing a lot of strange symptoms like pressure in my brain, shooting pains in my arms and legs, occasional chest pain, and muscle tremors. These pains start suddenly and go away after about a minute. What could be causing these symptoms?
Having a total cholesterol level of 162 mgdL is within the desirable range, which generally lowers the risk of artery blockage. However, cholesterol is just one risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and symptoms like brain pressure, shooting pains in arms and legs, chest pain, and muscle tremors should not be ignored. These symptoms can have various causes, including cardiovascular issues, neurological conditions, or even anxiety. It's important to consult your healthcare provider to thoroughly evaluate your symptoms and rule out serious conditions. They may recommend diagnostic tests such as an ECG, stress test, or imaging studies to assess your heart and arteries. Immediate medical attention is essential if you experience severe or persistent chest pain.
