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?

I've recently had a TMT test done and I'm trying to wrap my head around the results. The test summary says Total Time is 631, Max HR Attained is 184 bpm, and it's 96% of my target, which is 191. It also mentions Max BP is 190100 and Max workload is 7.6 with Bruce Protocol. My doctor said everything looks fine and that I shouldn't worry, but I just want to make sure all these values are normal. Could you help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about or if it's all really okay?

I'm a bit worried because my heart rate has been consistently between 105 and 110 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. It's been like this for the last 20 days. Can you tell me what's going on and if I should be concerned?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been having chest pain on the left side since the beginning of September. He quit smoking around that time, and now he's also experiencing tightness in his chest and suddenly started having acid reflux. The chest pain has gotten worse, and it's been sharp and in the upper part of his left chest for the last three days. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
