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 a bit concerned about my ECG report since it mentions "low voltage." Should I be worried about this? Can you explain what it means and if there's anything I need to do or watch out for?

ECG report showing low voltage can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to further evaluate the cause of low voltage. Your doctor may recommend a thorough physical examination, additional tests such as blood tests, echocardiogram, or stress test. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In some cases, medications like Furosemide or Spironolactone may be prescribed to help improve heart function. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for proper management
