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 really confused about my ECG results. I used to have a left axis deviation at 30, but today my ECG showed an extreme axis deviation. I repeated the test, and it went back to showing a left axis at 30 again. Is it possible that there's a problem with the machine, or should I be worried about my heart health? I'm attaching the echocardiogram, so please let me know what you think.

I'm a bit worried because my ECG test came back with something called Diagnosed402 pre-excitement syndrome. Is this dangerous? I'm also dealing with hypothyroidism, high eosinophils, and an increased red blood cell count. Can you shed some light on what all this means for my health?
Your ECG findings of pre-excitation syndrome (WPW syndrome) can sometimes lead to dangerous arrhythmias, especially in the presence of other medical conditions like hypothyroidism, elevated eosinophils, and high RBC count. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. For pre-excitation syndrome, medications like **Procainamide** can be used to control arrhythmias. However, in some cases, a procedure called catheter ablation may be recommended to correct the abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. For hypothyroidism, you may need to take **Levothyroxine** to replace the deficient thyroid hormone. Elevated eosinophils may indicate allergies or parasitic infections, and treatment with antihistamines or anti-parasitic medications may be necessary. High RBC count can be managed by addressing the underlying cause, such as dehydration or lung disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've been seeing several cardiologists and had a bunch of echoes and TMTs, but I'm still feeling really rough. I used to get panic attacks but haven't had one in about a year. These last 3 days, I've felt off and noticed my blood pressure is on the rise, getting up to like 140104 or 13495. I saw a cardiologist who is a DM, and he said the ECG was normal but the echo showed mild TR, RSVP 45mmHg, and mild PAH. He prescribed me Dilzem 90. This morning I woke up and my heart rate was 111, and honestly, I felt like I was gonna collapse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Given your history and current symptoms, it's understandable to be concerned. While your ECG and echo results show mild issues like mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension, the elevated heart rate and BP need close monitoring. It's essential to follow up with your cardiologist and maybe explore further tests or adjustments to your treatment. Anxiety can also play a big role, so managing stress alongside medication might help stabilize things. Stay in touch with your doctor for tailored advice and reassurance.
