I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test are good for. I had mine done about 28 days ago, and it was negative. I'm also curious about how long an ECG test stays valid. Can you help me out with this?

A treadmill test (TMT) result is typically considered valid for about 6 months to 1 year, depending on the individual's health condition and any changes in symptoms. Since your TMT was negative 28 days ago, it should still be considered valid. As for an ECG test, it is generally valid for a shorter period, usually around 1-2 weeks. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've had for the past month. I've done all the testsECG, 2D echo, and TMTand they all came back normal. My lipid profile is borderline though. I can't sleep because of the constant headache and chest pain throughout the day. The only way I'm sleeping is with Restyl 0.25 mg, but the chest pain just won't go away. What should I do next?
