Brief Answer:
TMT is a test for effort angina
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.
TMT or Tread Mill Test is a test to assess effort angina. During exercise the oxygen demand of our body and thereby the heart increases. In case of ischemic heart disease, this increased oxygen demand is not met and so certain changes in ECG occur while chest pain and breathlessness is observed. No such finding has occurred in your case (it is normal to have some exertion and fatigue). That indicates that your exercise tolerance is fine and no interventions are needed as of now.
Nevertheless, regular morning walk would be helpful.
