I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been told I'm obese, with a BMI of 33.4. I had an echocardiogram done about six months ago, and fortunately, everything looked normal. I'm really trying to keep an eye on my heart health, so I'm curioushow often should I be getting an echocardiogram to make sure everything stays okay?

My mother was diagnosed with gall bladder stones and is scheduled for surgery, but the doctor noticed something unusual in her heart X-ray and recommended an echo. The echo results came back as 4243 at the clinic but showed 2025 when repeated at a government hospital. Why are the readings so different and what should we do next?

Kindly share further details

I'm kind of worried because all of a sudden my heart started racing, and when I went to the hospital, they checked my blood pressure and gave me these BP tablets. I've been taking them, but I'm wondering if I should keep taking them or if it's okay to stop. What should I do?

Sudden increase in heart rate can be concerning. It's important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the medication. If you were given medication for high blood pressure, it's important to continue taking it as prescribed. Stopping the medication abruptly can be harmful. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
