View allI'm experiencing some mild pain in my upper chest on both sides and also in my upper back, and sometimes even in the lower part of my chest. I went to the doctor yesterday, and he did an ECG, which came back normal. My oxygen level is 97, but I'm still feeling like I need to take a deep breath every 10 minutes or so, and Im not sure why. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really concerned about this numbness in my left hand and the anxiety I'm feeling. I went to see my doctor, who suggested I visit a cardiologist. After doing a 2D echo, the cardiologist mentioned something about a dilated LV, and it's got me really stressed out. What does dilated LV mean? Should I be worried about it?
it is concerning to hear about your symptoms and the findings on your 2D echo report showing dilated left ventricle (LV). In this case, the cardiologist may prescribe medications to help with the condition. One common medication for dilated LV is Carvedilol, starting at a low dose of 3.125 mg twice daily and gradually increasing as tolerated. This medication can help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. Additionally, the cardiologist may recommend lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to support heart health. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed

I've recently got my test results back, and they mentioned that my cholesterol levels aren't great. The ECG report also showed something called a Left axis deviation. I'm feeling a bit concerned and would love to understand what this could mean for my health and if there's anything I should be doing about it. Is it something serious? What steps should I take next, and could lifestyle changes make a difference here?
For high cholesterol levels, you can start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily. This medication helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood. As for the left deviation axis on your ECG report, it could indicate various underlying heart conditions. It would be best to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
