I'm a bit worried after being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and an incomplete right bundle branch block. The doctor mentioned I should start taking trimetazidine. I'm not sure if it's really necessary or if there might be other options. Could you help me understand if I should go ahead with it?

Sinus tachycardia and Incomplete right bundle branch block are both cardiac conditions that may require treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Trimetazidine is not typically used to treat these conditions. For sinus tachycardia, beta-blockers like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate. For Incomplete right bundle branch block, treatment may not be necessary unless there are symptoms or other heart conditions present. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns or questions you have about your treatment plan.

I'm curious about how long the TMT test results are valid for. Are they considered accurate or reliable for a specific period, like one month, two months, or maybe six months? I just want to ensure I'm understanding it right.

The TMT (Treadmill Test) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the heart's response to exercise. The validity of a TMT test result depends on various factors such as the individual's medical history, risk factors, and current symptoms. In general, the validity of a TMT test result is not based on a specific time frame like 1 month, 2 months, or 6 months. It is more about the current health status of the individual at the time of the test. If you have concerns about the validity of a previous TMT test result, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

Why do most heart attacks occur in the morning?

Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .
