I'm a bit concerned about my health. I have high blood pressure, and my recent echo test came back saying I have Grade 1 Diastolic Dysfunction. I've attached the reports for you to review. Should I be worried about this? What does it really mean for my heart health?

Can you help me understand if it's normal for me to actually see my chest and stomach move with my heartbeat? I've never noticed this before and it's kind of freaking me out. I've had an ECG and my heart rate checked, and they were both normal. What's going on here?

It is normal to see some movement in the chest and stomach with each heartbeat, especially in individuals with a thinner body build. This is known as the cardiac impulse. Since your ECG is normal and heart rate is also normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue to monitor any changes in your symptoms.

I'm having chest pain for the past two years and have already done tests like HLA B27 by PCR, ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and a CT Coronary Angiography. All the results have come back normal, but I'm still dealing with this left-sided chest pain. My recent blood tests show HS CRP is 9.7, Lipoprotein A is 35.09, SGOT is 70.9, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. Now my doctor wants me to do a 2D Echo with a GLS test. What do you think is going on? Is there something specific my doctor might be looking for with this new test?
