I've just turned 17, and I'm trying to understand my lvef count, which is at 75. Is this something normal for someone my age? Any insights you could share would be really helpful because I'm a bit concerned.

An ejection fraction (EF) of 75% is considered normal and indicates good heart function. There is no need to worry about this result. Just continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I've been experiencing these heart palpitations and it's really concerning me. My heart also feels painful and I'm feeling quite shaky and weak. Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?

Sir, the treatment for palpitations and chest pain due to weakness can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, for symptomatic relief, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Tab Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with chest pain. It is important to stay hydrated, rest, and avoid caffeine and stress. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing or looking out for?

Palpitations despite normal Echo and ECG in a GERD patient could be due to acid reflux irritating the vagus nerve, leading to palpitations. In such cases, managing GERD effectively can help reduce palpitations. You can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for GERD.
