I've just gotten results from my 2D echo showing mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, though everything else seems normal and my ECG was fine. I'm currently taking Arbitel 40. Should I be worried about this, and is there a chance that this condition can be improved or managed effectively?

This medication helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. In addition to medication, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can also help in managing left ventricular hypertrophy. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan is important. It is important to note that while left ventricular hypertrophy can sometimes be reversed or managed effectively with treatment and lifestyle changes, it is essential to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

View allI'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've just been told I have a myocardiac bridge 1520. Lately, I've had a bit of right chest pain, some tightness, and I'm feeling kind of weak. Can you help me understand what's going on with me? I'm really curious and a bit worried.
Myocardial bridge is a condition where a segment of one of the coronary arteries tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, and weakness. In your case, with a myocardial bridge of 15-20%, it is important to manage your symptoms and monitor for any changes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to reduce the workload on your heart and relieve chest pain. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for acute chest pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

I've been feeling some movement on the left side of my chest, and I've already had an ECG and a 2D echo done. The ECG showed sinus tachycardia, probably because I was feeling anxious at that moment, along with right axis deviation and a borderline result. But the 2D echo came back normal. I'm also checking my heart rate often to see if it's palpitations, but it's normal, around 70-80. I'm not sure what's causing these movementscould it be gas or maybe something to do with nerve movements? What do you think?
It sounds like you are experiencing some discomfort in your left side chest area. Based on your ECG and 2D echo reports, it is good to know that your heart seems to be functioning normally. The sinus tachycardia with right axis deviation and borderline ECG findings may be related to your anxiety at that moment. Since your heart rate is normal (around 70-80), the movements you are feeling in your chest may not be related to palpitations. It is possible that the discomfort could be due to gas or muscle movements. To help with the discomfort, you can try taking an antacid like **Ranitidine** 150mg for gas relief. Additionally, you can also consider taking a muscle relaxant like **Cyclobenzaprine** 10mg to help with any muscle spasms that may be causing the movements in your chest. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for these medications and if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
