View allI'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.

I'm 22 and was recently at the cardiologist because I've noticed more skipped heartbeats. They did some tests like a TMT echo and an X-ray and said my heart's fine, but during the echo, there were some skipped beats. The doctor saw this and put me on Met XL 25, saying it's for long-term use. I've got a few worries thoughshould I be taking this medication at such a young age? Is it going to cause any issues in the future, especially if I occasionally forget a dose? My blood pressure is normal. Can you help me understand this better?
The medication prescribed to you by your cardiologist, Met XL 25, is a commonly used brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker. It is often prescribed to manage various heart conditions, including irregular heartbeats. The dosage for Met XL 25 is usually one tablet once a day. Starting Metoprolol at a younger age, like 22 years old, is not uncommon, especially if you have been experiencing skipped heartbeats. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as prescribed. In the long run, taking Metoprolol as directed should help manage your symptoms and improve your heart health. If you forget to take a dose of Met XL 25, simply take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. It is important not to double up on doses to make up for a missed one. Overall, Met XL 25 can be beneficial for managing your skipped heartbeats, and as long as you take it as prescribed by your doctor, there should not be any significant issues in the long run.

I'm noticing something strange and I'm a bit worried. My heart rate seems normal, but I've been feeling my whole body pulse with each heartbeat. I can even see my clothes moving around my chest, and if I'm holding something, it moves too. I especially notice it when I touch my abdomen or my neck. On top of that, I've been having some light chest pains every now and then. Could this be something to be concerned about? Any advice would be appreciated.
