I'm experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, but it's not really painful. It's more like an odd feeling when I breathe, right below my throat and just above the breasts. Any idea what this could be?

The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis

View allI'm noticing that my heart rate sits between 85 to 105 when I'm just resting. I had an ECG done and my doctor mentioned I have sinus tachycardia, but thankfully no arrhythmia. I'm kind of worried, thoughdoes this mean I'm at risk for a heart attack or maybe a brain stroke? I'm only 19, so I'm not sure what to think.
In your case, since you are 19 years old and your ECG shows sinus tachycardia without arrhythmia, the chances of heart attack or stroke are very low at your age. To help manage your sinus tachycardia, you can try relaxation techniques, avoid stimulants like caffeine, and ensure you are well-hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider beta-blocker medications like Metoprolol at a low dose under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echocardiogram report. All the measurements seem to be in range and my EF is at 62, which I guess is normal? But the report mentions a mild MR on the mitral valve and mild PR on the pulmonary valve. I sometimes feel dizzy when I go outside, and my neurologist mentioned it might be cardiac neurosis. I can't shake the feeling that something might be wrong with my heart. Can you help me understand what's really going on?
In 2d echocardiogram report, all measurements are within range and EF is 62%. However, the report shows mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and mild pulmonary regurgitation (PR). You mentioned feeling dizziness sometimes when you go outside, and a neurologist suggested it may be a cardiac neurosis issue. It's understandable to be concerned about the findings in the report. The mild MR and PR in the echocardiogram report are common findings and may not necessarily be the cause of your symptoms. In your case, where the EF is normal and other measurements are within range, these mild valve issues may not be the primary reason for your dizziness. To address your symptoms of dizziness, it would be important to consider other factors such as hydration, blood pressure, inner ear issues, or anxiety. However, if you are still concerned about the mild valve issues, you can discuss with your cardiologist about monitoring them periodically. For your dizziness, you can try to stay hydrated, avoid sudden position changes, and practice relaxation techniques. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed. I hope this information helps alleviate some of your concerns.

I'm starting to get concerned about my cholesterol levels, even though my overall cholesterol is 185, which doesn't seem too bad. But my triglycerides are on the higher side, and I'm wondering if this is something to worry about. Are there any natural ways to bring those levels down, or should I be considering medication? Would love to hear your thoughts.
To help reduce triglyceride levels naturally, you can try incorporating lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, increasing physical activity, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements can also help lower triglyceride levels. If lifestyle changes are not enough to lower triglyceride levels, medication may be recommended. One common medication used to lower triglycerides is Fenofibrate. The usual dosage for Fenofibrate is 48 to 145 mg per day, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
