I'm looking at my echocardiography report and I'm a bit worried. It says things like IVSTD 03 mm, LVPWD 07 mm, LVIDd 70 mm, FS 13, LVIDs 61 mm, and EF 28. I'm not sure what all of that means, but I'm concerned about whether these measurements are okay. Am I actually fit? Can you help me understand this?

Based on your echocardiography report, it indicates that you have a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 28%, which is below the normal range (55-70%). This may indicate a decrease in the pumping function of your heart. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you may be prescribed medications such as Carvedilol

View allI'm a 32-year-old female working as a professional physiotherapist, and I've been experiencing chest pain around the midpoint area and heart region. It's really starting to concern me. Could this be something serious? What could be causing this pain?
Chest pain in the mid-point area and heart area can have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, heart problems, or even anxiety. Since you are a 32-year-old female professional physiotherapist, it's important to consider your daily activities and any recent changes in your routine that may have contributed to the chest pain. Given your symptoms and profession, it's important to rule out any musculoskeletal issues first. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for temporary relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and practicing good posture may help alleviate the discomfort. However, since chest pain can also be a symptom of heart problems, it's crucial to monitor your symptoms closely. If the chest pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea, you should seek immediate medical attention. It's always better to be safe and have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
