I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test (TMT) are valid. If I keep up a pretty active lifestyle, when would be a good time to consider getting another TMT done for just a regular check-up? Would love any advice on that!

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing palpitations and when I took an ECG, it showed sinus tachycardia. My 2D echo test came back normal, so my doctor prescribed Betacap TR 20mg. After a week of taking it, the follow-up ECG was normal. Can you explain what sinus tachycardia is? Should I be concerned about any heart-related issues? I've also been dealing with anxiety for the past six months. I've attached my ECGs. Can you take a look and let me know what's going on? I'm really worried about my health.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a faster rate than normal, typically over 100 beats per minute. It is usually a normal response to stress, exercise, or certain medications. In your case, since your 2d echo test was normal and your follow-up ECG was also normal after taking Betacap TR 20mg, there is likely nothing to worry about. Betacap TR 20mg is a brand name for Propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication that helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce palpitations. For your anxiety, you can continue taking Betacap TR 20mg as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may benefit from therapy or relaxation techniques to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Overall, it seems like your heart is healthy and the medication is helping with your symptoms. Keep following up with your doctor for further guidance and monitoring.

I'm hoping to put on some weight by doing heavy weight lifting exercises, but I've been worried about my echo report from last October. It was just a routine checkup, and I'm completely fit, feeling fine, and have no issues. I do brisk walking for 45 minutes daily without any problems. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a mitral valve prolapse or if mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation is a concern. Could you advise me on how much weight I can safely lift given this condition? I've attached my report below.
Moderate weight lifting is advised.

Hey, my mom just had a 2D echo test and stress test done. The echo test came back normal with an LVFH of 60. However, during the stress test, she only managed to stay on the treadmill for 2 minutes because she's not very active and is a bit overweight. Our doctor has now recommended an angiography since the stress test wasnt normal. Do you think we should be concerned and go forward with the angiography?
Based on the information provided, since the stress test was not normal and your mom has limitations in physical activity due to being overweight, it would be advisable to follow your doctor's recommendation for an angiography. This will help in further evaluating the condition of her heart and determining the best course of action. In the meantime, it's important for your mom to continue following a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet.
