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.

View allI've been smoking for the past four years and drink daily. Seven months ago, I had a stress echo, and it came back normal, even though my lipid levels, Lp(a), and triglycerides were high. Recently, I've been experiencing dizziness that comes and goes, heart palpitations, ringing in my ears, feeling my heartbeat in my ears, the sensation of my heart skipping a beat, and burping. Could these symptoms be related to a heart issue? I'm worried because of my lifestyle habits and these recurring symptoms.
"Based on your symptoms and risk factors such as smoking and daily drinking, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. The dizziness, heart palpitations, ringing in ears, feeling of skipping a beat, and burping could be related to your heart. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider starting on a medication like Atorvastatin (10mg) for high lipid levels and Fenofibrate (145mg) for high TG levels to manage your cardiovascular risk factors."

I'm feeling a bit worried because every time I move my left hand, I get this sudden cramp in the center of my chest. A couple of years back, I had an ECG, an echo, and a TMT done, but everything was normal. I also had an endoscopy, which only showed H. pylori. This pain has recently started again, and I'm not sure what it means. Could it be related to the H. pylori, or should I be concerned about something else?

I've been having some concerns after getting the Covishield vaccine a few days ago. I've been experiencing chest pain and a feeling of tightness, along with mild difficulty breathing when I'm lying down. There's also a lot of mucus coming from my mouth. It feels like I might have a cold, considering I've had COVID before. Should I be worried about possible chest congestion or could it be something else?
take one mucolytic for 5 days twice a day
