I've been sleeping okay at night, but for the past four days, I've been waking up around 5 am with my heart racing. It's really weird and a bit scary. On top of that, I've been dealing with GERD for the last three weeks and taking Pantocid for it. What's going on with my heart? Should I be worried?

Could you explain what the echo report indicates? The patient already has two stents due to previous blockages, and I'm concerned about what that means for their current condition.

Based on the information provided, the echo report is likely showing the status of the heart and blood flow after the stent placement. It helps to assess the heart's pumping function, valve function, and any residual blockages in the coronary arteries. The patient may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and maintain stent patency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is important to monitor the heart's condition.
