View allI've been having some issues lately. I'm a 33-year-old guy, and when I'm just resting, my heart sometimes races up to 120-130 beats per minute. I had an ECG, and they said it's sinus tachycardia, but my echocardiogram came back normal. Even though tests seem alright, I still get this fluttery feeling when my pulse is high. What could this be? Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?
Based on your symptoms of palpitations and feeling flurried when your pulse is high, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, I recommend taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10-40mg as needed to help control your heart rate and reduce the feelings of flurriness. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms.

I'm really worried because my triglycerides are at 471. I'm concerned if this could be a sign of heart disease. I tried using fibrates to help with it, but then my creatine levels went up. What should I do now? Any advice would be really helpful.
Since fibrates caused an increase in your creatinine levels, you may consider using statins such as Atorvastatin at a low dose to help lower your triglycerides. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication regimen.

I'm 25 and just got my 2D echo mvp report. It says mvp grade I trivial MR and normal LV function. Should I be concerned about anything here? What exactly does this mean for my heart health, and do I need to take any action or follow-ups?
Your 2D echo report shows Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) with trivial Mitral Regurgitation (MR) and normal Left Ventricular (LV) function. Since you are 25 years old, it is important to monitor this condition regularly. You can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help manage symptoms and prevent complications associated with MVP.
