I've been having these frequent palpitations lately, and my heart seems to be pounding harder than usual. I had an echo done a couple of months ago, and it came out normal. I just did an ECG a couple of days ago, and I've attached the results. Should I be worried about this?

The ECG you have attached shows sinus tachycardia, which means your heart is beating faster than normal. Since your echo two months back was normal, this may be due to other factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or thyroid issues. I recommend you to take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate and palpitations. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?

Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.

I'm trying to understand my echocardiography report and it's a bit confusing. It mentions terms like LVH, RWM, and systolic function, and I see numbers related to valves and arteries. It mentions things like Aorta 3.9 cm, LA 3.4 cm, and LV 5.3x3.2 cm, with an EF of 70. Could you help me figure out what this means? Is everything normal, or should I be worried?
