I'm really worried about my husband. He's been experiencing muscle twitching on the left side of his chest every now and then, like about once a week. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm feeling really anxious lately and having these weird palpitations. Sometimes my hands and legs go numb too. I had a Holter test and an ECG but they didn't show anything. My doctor prescribed beta blockers, but I'm really worried about what's actually happening with me. Is my heart not healthy? Do I really need to take these meds forever? Are there any other tests I should consider? I'm just looking for some guidance here.

Question

I've been noticing something strangewhen I'm lying in bed, I can actually feel my heartbeat, and while my heart rate seems normal, my body feels like it's shaking a bit with each beat. I got my echocardiogram results, and it shows a myxomatous mitral valve with mild MR, with measurements of LV ID at 5.7 cm and 3.8 cm, IVSd at 0.8 cm, LVPWd at 0.8 cm, and an EF of 60%. The doctor mentioned my left ventricle is slightly enlarged but not dangerous. But here's the thingwhen I stand up quickly from lying down, I get really dizzy. Could you explain what might be going on and what I should do about it?
