I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.

I'm dealing with mild MVP and my MREF is at 60 percent. I've got a lot of anxiety and my stomach's frequently upset. Occasionally, I get palpitations, especially when I'm stressed out. What can I do to get rid of these symptoms?

based on your symptoms of mild mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with grade 1 mitral regurgitation (MR), anxiety, stomach upset, palpitations, and increased anxiety in stressful situations, I recommend the following treatment plan: 1. For anxiety, you can take a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like Sertraline 50mg once daily. 2. For palpitations, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily. 3. For stomach upset, you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. 4. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. 5. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco as they can worsen anxiety and palpitations. 6. Follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms

My sister's pulse rate is around 120, and she's feeling dizzy. Is this cause for concern? Should we see a doctor, or could this be something normal?

A high pulse rate of 120, especially when accompanied by dizziness, should not be ignored. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg to help lower her heart rate. Make sure she rests and stays hydrated.
