I'm a 24-year-old male and I've been feeling this strong heartbeat when I'm sitting or lying down. It's like I can feel it in my stomach and chest for the past three days. I'm worried if this is something serious or just normal? A couple of months ago, I had some heart tests done like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything came back normal, including my lipid profile. But now my stomach seems to be moving with my heartbeat. Is this something I should be worried about?

based on your description and previous evaluations, it is possible that you are experiencing palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since your heart evaluation tests were normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart condition. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try reducing your caffeine intake, practicing stress-reducing techniques, and ensuring you are well-hydrated. In case the symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, if the symptoms persist or become more concerning, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned after reading my eco report, and I need some clarity on a few things. It mentions "normal cardiac chamber" but then there's "concentric LVH grade lLVDD." What does that mean exactly? Also, it says "trivial MR" and "trivial AR"are these something I should be worried about? There's mention of "NO RWMA," which I'm assuming is a good thing, right? And it states "normal biventricular" function, but then what's "distolic function LVEF60"? Is that normal? Lastly, there's "NO IC clot VEGPE intact IAS IVS"so does this mean everything's okay overall? I'd really appreciate your insights.
Based on the eco report provided, the findings indicate normal cardiac chambers with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and grade 1 left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). There is trivial mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial aortic regurgitation (AR) present. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) noted. The biventricular and diastolic functions are normal with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%. There are no intracardiac clots, vegetations (VEG), or pulmonary embolism (PE) observed. The interatrial septum (IAS) and interventricular septum (IVS) are intact. Based on the findings, no specific treatment is required at this point. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes in your cardiac health.

I'm a bit confused about the TMT and Echo results for my dad, who's 50. The Echo came back normal with an EF of 60, and the TMT showed good effort tolerance. But there were upsloping ST changes at the peak of the test. The report says it's negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. Is it normal to have these upsloping ST changes? Should I be worried about this?
The upsloping ST changes at the peak of the TMT test can be considered normal if the test is negative for exercise-induced reversible ischemia. It is important to correlate these findings with your father's overall clinical history and risk factors for heart disease. In this case, no further intervention may be needed based on the test results provided.
