Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Troponin levels rise in response to Myocardial Infarction. Heart muscle results in release of these enzymes in response ischemia/infarction. Levels start to rise in 24-48hrs and remains high for 7-10 days. Levels remain high till heart muscle's status get backs to normal. If not taken already then take an appointment for cardiologist at a hospital near you. He will perform detailed examination along with some investigations like ECG, CPK-MB to confirm the status of heart. Further management will depend upon the results of labs.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
