Question

When I lie down and then get up to walk, I experience a heavy feeling or difficulty in breathing for about 2 to 3 minutes. I also notice a heaviness in my upper abdomen during this time. After those few minutes, I feel normal again. I've had an X-ray, CT scan, ECG, and a 2D echo, and all the results came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or am I just overthinking it?

Question

Can you help me understand these heart-related numbers? Im seeing terms like "left atrium 3.9cm", "aorta 3.5cm", and "EF 60". It mentions things like mild MR, trivial TR, and concentric LVH too. I'm curious if these results are normal or if there's anything to worry about, especially with LV diastolic dysfunction and no pericardial effusion mentioned. Could you explain them for me?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?
