Hi, welcome to HCM, TMT or stress test is an indicator of ischemia or blood deficiency in the heart. There are many factors that can change a negative test to positive in 6 months. Sometimes there is a slow cholesterol build up in the heart arteries that would have reached critical point only now. Or it could be stress. Or Blood pressure out of control. Or becoming sedentary when previously active. Rule out these possibilities, become active, avoid refined carbs, saturated fats, red meat. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Regards
