I've been checking my heart rate with my phone, and it usually reads between 90-100. I don't smoke, drink, or experience any stress, but sometimes my heart feels a bit heavy, even when I'm just resting. Is this normal? I'm 5.9 tall and weigh 75 kg.

I'm a bit worried since my recent ECHO showed this mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this actually means and what precautions I should be taking? Ive got the ECHO report and the cardiologist's prescription with me. I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a second opinion.

Mild concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) on your ECHO report indicates that the muscle wall of your heart's left ventricle has thickened, which can increase the risk of heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias; to take precautions, focus on lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress reduction, and a balanced diet, while also managing underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes; for a second opinion, consult another cardiologist, and provide them with your ECHO report and prescription to discuss the best course of action and potential further testing, such as a stress test or cardiac MRI.
