I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

I'm trying to understand why my ejection fraction is higher than normal. It's at 82, whereas previously it was 70 according to another report. Should I be worried about this change? What could cause such an increase in ejection fraction?

An ejection fraction of 82% is considered higher than normal and may indicate a condition such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (Toprol XL) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate and improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.
