I'm sometimes feeling my heart beating in my neck and it makes me panic a bit. I've done some tests like a blood test, ECG, and 2D Echo. My cholesterol is borderline, but both the ECG and Echo came out normal. So, why do I feel my heartbeat in my neck sometimes? Should I get more tests to check if there's something abnormal going on?

Feeling your heart beat in your neck can be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, or even dehydration. Since your ECG and 2D Echo results are normal, it is less likely to be related to any structural heart abnormalities. However, if you continue to experience this sensation, you may consider doing a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for 24-48 hours. This can help in detecting any irregular heartbeats that may not be captured during a standard ECG. Additionally, a stress test can also be considered to evaluate your heart's response to physical activity.

View allI'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.

I've had an echo done several times and each time it showed trace tricuspid regurgitation, even as recent as two months ago and again today. Is there a way to make this situation normal? Could it possibly resolve on its own?
Trace tricuspid regurgitation is a common finding on echocardiograms and is usually not a cause for concern. In most cases, it does not require any specific treatment and often resolves on its own. However, it is important to manage any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the regurgitation. You can try to improve your heart health by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. If you have any concerns, you can consult with your doctor about potential treatment options.
