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.
