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.

My heart sometimes beats really fast, like between 80 and 95 beats per minute. Does that sound normal? I'm feeling kind of scared about it, so can you help me understand what's going on?

A heart rate of 80 to 95 beats per minute can be considered normal for many individuals, especially during periods of physical activity or stress. However, if you are experiencing a consistently elevated heart rate at rest and are feeling anxious about it, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25mg to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety.
