I'm a bit concerned about my recent test results and was hoping you could help clarify. I did a 2D echo test, but I'm not sure what counts as normal results for that. Also, I ran for 12 minutes on a stress test machine and I'm wondering what the normal results should look like for that. Can you explain what these tests mean and what I should be looking out for?

I've been noticing this weird movement in my chest right above the breast, almost like something's trying to burst out. When it happens, it's tough to breathe and my heart seems to race. I've been dealing with this for years, but recently it's getting much more intense. It can happen at any time whether I'm just lying down or walking around. Could you help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations or possibly an issue like acid reflux or a cardiac condition. Please see a doctor promptly to evaluate your heart and overall health, as these symptoms becoming stronger need attention.
