I've been having sweating and breathlessness when going up the stairs, and there's some numbness in my palm along with a light pain in my chest. I talked to a cardiologist who's pretty experienced, and after checking out my echo report, they've suggested I get an angiography. I'm really unsure about whether I should go through with it. Could you give me some advice on this? I would really appreciate a quick response.

Based on your symptoms and the recommendation of your cardiologist, undergoing angiography would be important to assess the condition of your heart vessels. This procedure can provide detailed information about any blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying your heart. It will help in determining the best course of treatment for your condition. Please follow your cardiologist's advice and proceed with the angiography as recommended.

View allI've been experiencing this weird sensation where I can feel my heartbeat or pulse when I'm lying down on my pillow. It usually happens in the side of my neck or at the back of my head. This has been going on for about three months now. I've had an ECG and an echo, and they were normal, except the ECG showed sinus tachycardia. I also got a thyroid test, which came back normal. My blood pressure is fine too, and I dont have any other symptoms. Its just strange that it only happens when Im lying down. I did have COVID nine months ago, but that feels like ages ago now. What should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be concerning. Since your ECG and echo were normal and your thyroid test was also normal, it is good news that there are no major issues detected so far. Sinus tachycardia can sometimes cause palpitations, especially when lying down. One possible next step could be to monitor your heart rate with a Holter monitor to see if there are any irregularities in your heart rhythm over a longer period of time. In the meantime, you can try to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and stress, as these can sometimes trigger palpitations. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my doctor said I have IRBBB on my ECG and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm 40 now and was fit until my early 30s. Will this affect my future life? I'm feeling really tense about it.
Having incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) on your ECG is usually not a cause for concern, especially if your doctor has reassured you about it. It is often considered a benign finding. However, if you are feeling tense and anxious about it, it's important to address your concerns. To help manage your anxiety, you can consider relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your anxiety persists, you may also speak to your doctor about it. In terms of your future life, IRBBB itself typically does not have a significant impact on your overall health or longevity. As long as you continue to follow a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your doctor, you should be able to maintain your well-being. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, it's always best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I'm trying to understand the normal range for Right Ventricle and Left Ventricle EDD mid-cavity. Can you also tell me what the normal range for ejection fraction is? I'm really curious and a bit worried about this, so any insights would be super helpful.
The normal range for Right Ventricle EDD mid cavity is 2.0-3.5 cm, and for Left Ventricle EDD mid cavity is 3.0-5.6 cm. The normal range for ejection fraction is typically between 50-70%.
