I've been experiencing shortness of breath when I'm walking, climbing stairs, or doing physical activities. My throat gets really dry, and I feel pain in my neck and back. After eating, I often feel heaviness in my chest and have trouble breathing, and sometimes my heart races. Could these be symptoms of a heart issue? I'm really worried about it.

View allI'm trying to understand what's more accurate for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophycardiac CT or echocardiography. Which one should I trust more for reliable results? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure I get the right diagnosis.
For the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), echocardiography is generally considered to have better accuracy compared to cardiac CT. Echocardiography provides real-time images of the heart's structure and function, allowing for a more detailed assessment of LVH. In contrast, cardiac CT can also be used to diagnose LVH, but it may not provide as much detail as echocardiography. In terms of accuracy, echocardiography is typically the preferred imaging modality for diagnosing LVH due to its ability to visualize the heart in real time and assess various parameters such as wall thickness and chamber size. Therefore, if you are looking for a more accurate result in diagnosing LVH, echocardiography would be the recommended imaging test. In some cases, both imaging modalities may be used in conjunction to provide a comprehensive evaluation of LVH. However, if you are specifically looking for the most accurate result, echocardiography is often the preferred choice.

I'm feeling this weird breathlessness when I lie down, but it goes away if I turn to my side. I don't have a cough or fever, and I consider myself pretty healthy otherwise. Should I be concerned about this?
