Hello, The general validity of a TMT is 12-18 months, so if you have done is just recently and it was normal you may not repeat it, however your doctor would have planned a review if the last TMT was borderline, or your blood pressure may have shot up or you were unable to walk to the desired level of activity.
However you need not worry about it as till now you haven't done a TMT, and the last was good according to the information provided .
Even if your TMT comes positive there are still 30% change that the report is false positive.
So don't take unnecessary stress of the future.
Hoping I could help.
