I'm really confused about my TMT report. It says the test is negative, but one doctor mentioned it might actually be positive. The cardiologist did an echo test too, and that turned out normal. He said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand if there's anything in the TMT that I should be worried about?

If the report mentions TMT negative, it indicates a normal result where no significant changes were observed during the test. Since your cardiologist also conducted an echo test which came back normal and reassured you that there is nothing to worry about, it is unlikely that there is a cause for concern regarding your TMT results. It is important to follow your cardiologist's advice and continue with any recommended follow-up appointments or tests. If you have any further concerns, please consult with your cardiologist for personalized advice.

View allI'm trying to figure out what's going on with this persistent chest pain. I did a TMT on May 25 as advised by my doctor, and it turned out negative, but the pain in the middle of my chest just won't go away. I dont smoke or drink and there's no family history of heart disease. I've been dealing with asthma for the last two years. The pain doesn't increase when I walk or run, but it's really starting to make me anxious and it's even affecting my sleep. What can I do to alleviate this pain?
As per your description, it seems like you are experiencing chest pain despite a negative TMT result. Since you have a history of asthma and the pain is not worsening with physical activity, it may not be directly related to your heart. To help alleviate the chest pain and manage your anxiety, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like paracetamol (e.g., Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can try using a heating pad on the area of discomfort and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help with your anxiety and improve sleep. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing my heart beating really noticeably when I'm lying down. My ECG came out normal, and the doctor mentioned it's palpitations and gave me some medication for it. Any idea how long it might take before the palpitations go away?
The duration for palpitations to improve can vary depending on the individual and the specific medication prescribed. However, in general, you may start to notice an improvement in your palpitations within a few days to a couple of weeks after starting the medication. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and follow up with them for any necessary adjustments.

probable cause is hypertension, u may require betablockers and calcium channel blockers..
