I've been really stressed about my heart health lately. I had a 2D echo done back in November, and I'm feeling super anxious about it again. I keep noticing my pulse everywhere I put my hand on my body, and it's freaking me out a bit. How long should I wait before getting another 2D echo to make sure everything's okay?

based on your symptoms and history of severe heart anxiety, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation. However, typically, if there are no significant changes in your symptoms, a follow-up 2D echo can be done after 1 year from your last test. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help with your heart anxiety symptoms.

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?
