I've already had my echo about three weeks ago because I was having chest pain. I'm still worried and wondering how many days I should wait before going for another test. Could you help me out with this?

I recently had an ECG and felt really nervous during the test. The report mentioned "sinus tachycardia otherwise normal ECG." Should I be worried about this?

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. In most cases, it is a normal response to stress, anxiety, or exercise. Since your ECG report shows sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal, there is likely no cause for concern. However, if you continue to experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider. No specific medication is needed for sinus tachycardia, but managing stress and anxiety can help.

I've recently had an echo done, and it showed grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if this is something serious. Should I see a cardiologist about it, or is it a common finding that's usually not a big deal?

It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Treatment may include lifestyle modifications and medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril (5-20mg once daily) or ARBs like Losartan (25-100mg once daily) to help improve heart function and symptoms. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your condition.
