I'm a bit worried since my recent ECHO showed this mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this actually means and what precautions I should be taking? Ive got the ECHO report and the cardiologist's prescription with me. I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a second opinion.

Mild concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) on your ECHO report indicates that the muscle wall of your heart's left ventricle has thickened, which can increase the risk of heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias; to take precautions, focus on lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress reduction, and a balanced diet, while also managing underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes; for a second opinion, consult another cardiologist, and provide them with your ECHO report and prescription to discuss the best course of action and potential further testing, such as a stress test or cardiac MRI.

I'm having some pain on the left side of my chest, it feels like a pinching sensation. Yesterday it got really bad, to the point where I couldn't breathe properly and felt really uneasy, almost like I was going to die. It seemed to get a bit better after taking a minute-long walk, but once I sat down, the pain came back. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Hey, I went to the doctor and got tested for heart palpitations, but everything came back normal. I'm supposed to go back in January, but today I experienced heart palpitations for about 40 minutes, and my heart rate was at 130. I felt really hot and a bit faint. I'm on my period, been feeling super stressed, and my eating habits haven't been great these past few weeks. Is this something normal because of all that, or should I be worried?

My mom's ultrasound showed a poor acoustic window because of her body size. The doctor mentioned it might affect the results. I'm really worried does this mean she'll need surgery or can medications help her get better? What are our options here?

We need to see all her reports, examine her once and look into the gravity on her symptoms to decide the course of treatment best for her.
