I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

I've been experiencing this weakness in my chest and it's making me really anxious. I'm trying to figure out what's going on because sometimes I also get this heaviness when I breathe and feel dizzy. It even makes me feel shaky at times. What could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, which can cause chest tightness, dizziness, and shaky feelings. However, these symptoms can also be linked to other conditions such as heart issues or respiratory problems. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to get a proper evaluation and ensure it's not something more serious.

I've noticed that my heart rate tends to go up to 130 when I'm feeling anxious, and I recently had an echo done. Thankfully, the report was normal, but it did show Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 54. I'm curious, can anxiety-induced high heart rate affect the echo results? Also, could these findings indicate any valvular disease?

High heart rate can affect certain echo parameters, but in your case, with a heart rate of 130 due to anxiety, the echo report came back normal. Valvular diseases can still be detected even with a high heart rate. In your case, the echo report showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction of 54%. To further evaluate any valvular disease, you may need additional tests such as a Doppler echocardiogram. No specific medication is needed for Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but it's important to manage any underlying conditions contributing to it.

I've been experiencing some chest heaviness, so I got an ECG done today. Could you let me know if it looks normal? I'm a bit concerned about this enlarged PTFV1 finding is that something to worry about? Would really appreciate your help.
