I'm really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?

Question

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and unsure what's going on with my health. Whenever I do even a little bit of work, I start feeling pain all over my body and feel really weak. My heart beats really fast, like once it was 165 bpm and then it came down to 115 bpm after 10 minutes. I've been told I have high blood pressure and cholesterol, but my ECG, TMT, and echo tests all came back normal. The ECG did show some changes in areas called Avf, but they've been like that for 9 years. On top of that, I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for about 12 years now. I'm really worried if this might be a heart problem or if it's all just because of my anxiety. Every time I try to do any work, the weakness and palpitations hit me, along with a full body ache. I really need some advice on what's happening.

Question

I'm experiencing chest pain every morning, and it goes away when I lie down. I can breathe just fine, but it feels like there's something in my chest. What could be causing this?
