I'm trying to understand what it means if a TMT result comes back positive. Does this indicate there's an issue with my heart? Should I be worried about any specific heart conditions?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If TMT is positive, it indicates that there may be a problem related to the heart. TMT stands for Treadmill Test, which is a common test used to assess how well your heart responds to stress. A positive TMT result can suggest the presence of coronary artery disease or other heart-related issues. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been having these sudden sharp pains in my left arm. There's also this weird sensation in my left chest area and sometimes my stomach hurts. Occasionally, I feel a bit short of breath. I'm not sure what's going on and I'm kinda worried about it. What do you think I should do?
It is important to seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption.

I'm a bit concerned about my health. I have high blood pressure, and my recent echo test came back saying I have Grade 1 Diastolic Dysfunction. I've attached the reports for you to review. Should I be worried about this? What does it really mean for my heart health?
Grade 1 dyastolic dysfunction is NORMAL...

I'm really worried about some recent health reports I've got. My TSH levels were high at 10.3, so my doctor increased my thyroid medication from 100mg to 125mg. Then after about 25 days, my TSH dropped to 0.70, and I was advised to cut down the medication to 75mg. I'm also confused because my TMT test came back positive for inducible myocardial ischemia, but my ECG and echocardiography were normal. The doctor is now suggesting I go for an angiogram. I'm really anxious about whether these thyroid level changes could be affecting my TMT results. Should I be rushing into getting the angiogram, and is there a real chance of having heart issues even though the ECG and echo were normal? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Yes its is due to fluctating tsh levels. U may repeat angio after 6 months.
