I'm really thin and I've noticed that I'm very aware of my heartbeat. I can even see the muscle on the left side of my chest moving with it. I've done a Holter, ECG, and ECHO, and they all came back normal. Should I be concerned about this?

It's understandable to be concerned when you notice your heartbeat so clearly, especially when you're thin and can see the muscle movement on your chest. Since your Holter monitor, ECG, and echocardiogram (ECHO) all came back normal, this is reassuring and suggests that your heart is functioning well.
Key points to consider:
-
Visibility of Heartbeat:
- Being thin can make your heartbeat more visible and palpable, which is often normal.
-
Palpitations:
- Awareness of your heartbeat can sometimes be heightened by anxiety or stress.
-
When to Seek Medical Advice:
- If you experience symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, seek medical advice promptly.
-
Regular Monitoring:
- Continue regular check-ups as advised by your doctor to monitor your heart health.
If you remain worried or notice new symptoms, discussing this with a cardiologist or your primary care physician can provide further reassurance and guidance. For now, your normal test results are a positive sign that there is no underlying heart problem.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried and would like some advice. I tested positive on December 19th and my CT scan shows corads 4. I've been diabetic for 10 years and had a heart blockage about 5 months ago. Recently, my D-dimer level is at 0.34, and my sugar levels are high, with an HBA1c of 8.9 and an average blood glucose of 208. Right now, I don't have any symptoms, but given my medical history, do you think I should consider hospitalization?

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent 2D echo results. It says my EF is 56, but everything else seems normal. Is this EF number something to be concerned about or is it within the normal range? Just wanted to make sure I understand what this means for my heart health.
Your EF (Ejection Fraction) of 56% is considered normal. An EF between 50-70% is generally considered normal for a healthy adult. No treatment is usually required for a normal EF.

I'm going through my echo report and have a few questions. It mentions normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormality, which sounds good, but I'm not quite sure what all that means. Should I be concerned about anything specific? It also says theres no vegetation or LV clot, which is a relief, but could you explain what "mild TR with mild PAH" means? And is a fast heart rate during the test something to be worried about? My EF is 60%, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Any insights would be appreciated!
Based on the Echo Report, everything seems to be within normal limits except for the mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). For mild TR and mild PAH, you can take Tablet Sildenafil 20mg once daily to help with the pulmonary hypertension. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
