I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

View allI've been noticing something strangewhen I'm lying in bed, I can actually feel my heartbeat, and while my heart rate seems normal, my body feels like it's shaking a bit with each beat. I got my echocardiogram results, and it shows a myxomatous mitral valve with mild MR, with measurements of LV ID at 5.7 cm and 3.8 cm, IVSd at 0.8 cm, LVPWd at 0.8 cm, and an EF of 60%. The doctor mentioned my left ventricle is slightly enlarged but not dangerous. But here's the thingwhen I stand up quickly from lying down, I get really dizzy. Could you explain what might be going on and what I should do about it?
When you suddenly stand from a lying position and feel dizzy, it could be due to a drop in blood pressure known as orthostatic hypotension. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly transitioning from lying to standing positions. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Fludrocortisone to help increase blood volume and improve blood pressure regulation. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action based on your individual health needs.

Could a heart hole that my cousin had as a baby still be an issue now that he's 14 years old? Should we be worried about any lingering effects, or is it likely that it closed up on its own over time?
It is possible that your cousin still has a heart hole, also known as a congenital heart defect. To determine if the hole is still present, he would need to undergo medical evaluation, which may include imaging tests such as an echocardiogram. Treatment options for a heart hole may include medications such as aspirin or blood thinners, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. It is important for your cousin to follow up with a cardiologist for further assessment and management.
