I'm experiencing palpitations on the right side of my chest, and my 2D echo results came back normal. Can you help me understand what's causing this?

Since your 2D Echo results are normal, the palpitations may not be directly related to a heart condition. I recommend trying to reduce stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques. Additionally, limiting caffeine intake and staying hydrated can also help. If the palpitations persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Question

I'm really worried because I got my ECG done and it came back abnormal. The report mentions sinus tachycardia and right atrial enlargement. What does that mean exactly? Should I be concerned about this? My heart rate was really high at the time of the test, but my other tests, like thyroid and lipid profile, were normal. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
