I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?

To get a complete picture of the functioning of the heart, it is recommended to also do a lipid profile and a hemogram in addition to TMT (Treadmill Test) and 2D Echo. Lipid profile helps to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are important risk factors for heart disease. Hemogram provides information about the overall health of the individual, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and platelet count, which can also impact heart health. Therefore, including a lipid profile and hemogram along with TMT and 2D Echo can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the heart's functioning.

View allI'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg every day for the past couple of months to help with chest pain, not for high blood pressure. I'm feeling better now and was wondering how I can stop taking it safely without causing any problems? I'd really appreciate your advice!

I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.
These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm really concerned because I'm still having this pain on the left side of my chest and in my neck, even though my TMT and high-sensitive troponin tests came back normal. Should I still be worried about the possibility of a heart attack?
It's good that your TMT test and high sensitive troponin I test results are normal. However, persistent left chest pain and neck side pain should not be ignored. It's important to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac issues, but it's essential to rule out any cardiac concerns. You can take a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
