I'm really worried about my mom's 2D Echo report that mentions Aortic Valve Sclerosis. It also states LV Diastolic Dysfunction, Mild TR, Mild PAH, and Trivial MR AR, but no Intracardiac Masses or pericardial effusion. What caught my eye was the doctor's advice for an angiogram. Is that truly necessary? What kinds of risks are we looking at if we don't go for it? Would appreciate your guidance on whether this is a standard procedure or if alternative approaches exist.

View allWhat does a bpm of 106 mean on an ECG test? Should I be really worried about this? Everything else seems to be in the normal range.
A bpm of 106 in an ECG test indicates a heart rate of 106 beats per minute. This heart rate is slightly above the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute, but it may not necessarily be a big concern, especially if other parameters on the ECG are within normal range. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

I recently had a fever and decided to get an ECG done. The results showed sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia. I went back for another ECG the next day, and it came out normal. Should I be concerned about this fluctuation?

I'm getting these episodes of chest pain and heaviness on my left side that go down to my shoulder and arm, and they last a really long time, like more than a day. They happen randomly without any exertion, and it's scary. I had an ECG during a panic attack, and it showed a heart rate of 130 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but I was discharged after 12 hours. Another time, I felt that chest heaviness with a burning sensation again, and the echocardiography came out normal. The doctor said there's nothing to worry about cardiac-wise, but the anxiety and fear are hard to shake off. Should I consider a stress test or something, even though my ECG was normal at that rate?
