View allI've been dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely because of a fast heart rate or tachycardia. The doctor suggested a stress echo and I went through that last week. Could you take a look at the report? I'm a bit worried because my tests were normal in 2015 and now there's something going on. What do you think?
You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.

I recently got my Lipoprotein a test results back, and it shows Lpa 47.2. I'm wondering if this is considered a normal range or if I should be thinking about medication. Can you help me understand what this means for my health?
A Lipoprotein (a) level of 47.2 mgdL is considered within the normal range. However, it is important to consider other risk factors for cardiovascular disease as well. To help maintain a healthy level of Lipoprotein (a) and reduce the risk of heart disease, you can consider taking medications such as Atorvastatin at a dosage of 10-80 mg daily or Rosuvastatin at a dosage of 5-40 mg daily. It is recommended to discuss with your healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your overall health profile.
