I'm feeling pretty worried after getting my recent full body check-up results. The echo report showed something unusual, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Sometimes I get really anxious, and when I was getting the echo done, my heartbeat was racing at about 110 to 120 beats per minute because I was so scared. Could you take a look at my echo report and tell me what steps I should take next or if everything seems okay? The report mentions Mild MR and TR PASP at 32 mm Hg and LVEF at 65, but everything else seems normal. What should I do?

In your echo report, it mentions that you have mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 32 mmHg. Your left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 65%, which is within the normal range. Based on the information provided, everything seems to be normal except for the mild MR and TR. Given your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing an elevated heart rate during the echo, it is important to address your anxiety. To manage anxiety and potentially reduce the impact on your heart rate, you can consider taking medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg three to four times daily. It is also advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss the findings of your echo report and to determine if any further evaluation or treatment is necessary. Regular follow-ups and monitoring may be recommended to ensure your heart health is maintained.

Ive been noticing that when I lie down, especially on my side, I can really feel my heartbeat, and it's hard to focus on anything else. What could be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Feeling your heartbeat more prominently when lying down, especially on your side, can be due to a condition called palpitations. This can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and reducing caffeine consumption may also help.
