Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!

I am glad that your stress echo has resulted normal!

Trace mitral regurgitation and some PVC are normal findings without any clinical significance.

The sternum pain could be related to acid reflux or costochondritis.

I don't think that it is related to the heart, considering all your recent cardiac tests and the fact that your vital parameters are within the normal ranges, there is no shortness of breath or other symptoms.

So, try to relax and don't worry about it!

I would advise taking a tablet of Omeprazole and a tablet of Acetaminophen and see if they help improve your situation.

I hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri

Brief Answer:
I would exclude any cardiac issues.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Your symptoms are not suggestive of any cardiac disorders.

We have already discussed about this and you know that some PVCs are quite normal in every healthy individual during physical activity or emotional stress.

So, there is no reason to panic!

In my opinion, this is just a musculo-skeletal pain and there is no need for any additional tests.

Hope you will find this information helpful!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

This kind of pain is typical of a musculoskeletal pain, probably costochondritis.

I would completely exclude any cardiac issues based on your description of the pain.
So try to relax and don't worry about it!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!

Wishing all the best,

Dr.Iliri
