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?

View allI've been having mild chest pain continuously for about 23 hours, and it's the first time I've felt anything like this. I went to the hospital and got an ECG done, which came back as a Borderline ECG, and I've attached the report. The Troponin I test result was 0.01 ngml. My heartbeat seems to be averaging around 95-110 bpm. Should I be worried about this?
It is important to address the possibility of a cardiac issue. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin to help prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you should take Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart complications. It is also advisable to take Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. These medications will help manage your condition and reduce the risk of any potential heart problems. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Take care."

I'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?
There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I've been experiencing this heavy feeling in my chest, and sometimes there's a little pain too. It's been going on for about a month now, maybe 34 days. I haven't really had any medical issues before this, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?
take tablet pantoprazole for 5 days, once a day and tablet zerodol
