I'm experiencing some heart-related issues that are making me a bit anxious. Back in December 2019, I had a fast heartbeat and some pain on my left side, so I went to a cardio doctor in Patna. After running an ECG, he prescribed me clonozepam, etizola, and a beta blocker, which really helped at the time. But lately, I've been noticing this fluttering sensation in my heart, and it's making me wonder if it's something I should be worried about or if it's fine to just ignore it. Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm a bit concerned about getting the COVID vaccine because I had angioplasty about a decade ago and have been taking ecospirin tablets since then. I've heard that the vaccine might be risky for people with a history of blood clots. Could you please shed some light on whether it's safe for someone like me?
It is generally safe for patients who have had angioplasty and are taking ecospirin (aspirin) to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of getting vaccinated against Covid-19 outweigh the risks, especially in individuals with a history of heart disease. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated to ensure it is safe for your specific medical condition.

I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.
