Palpitations can be caused by various factors. In this case, it is important to first consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, to help alleviate the symptoms, you can consider giving your mother a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for palpitations is around 25-50mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to ensure your mother is staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and getting adequate rest.

I'm feeling really stressed about this.

I'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echo results. It mentions incomplete RBBB and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. Everything else seems normal, like the cardiac chamber dimensions and valve functions, with no wall motion abnormalities and a good LVEF of 60. Should I be concerned about these findings, and what do they mean for my heart health? Is there anything specific I need to look out for or any lifestyle changes I should consider?

My mom was diagnosed with chest pain on December 7, 2018. She's in the hospital, and the doctor did an angiography and is suggesting a bypass.
