Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully reviewed your uploaded tests and I am glad to confirm that there is no any serious abnormalities in both ECG and cardiac ultrasound.

I would like to directly review your full Holter reports.

Meanwhile I would like to let you know that palpitations and premature beats besides certain cardiac causes, may be due to several extracardiac reasons such as:

- lung disease
- thyroid dysfunction
- blood electrolytes disorders
- anemia
- inflammation
- other metabolic causes.

Please let me know about other tests you have done.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri

Opinion as follows:

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

I carefully reviewed all the uploaded medical data, and I’m glad to confirm you that nothing dangerous arises from those tests.

Your Holter monitoring reveals only 50 PVCs which have no clinical significance.

There are no complex supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmic events.

So, just relax and don’t worry about this issue!

I advise you to check the above mentioned lab tests (I wrote at the beginning of our thread), to make sure no any underlying health condition is present.

Meanwhile, I suggest you to modify your diet (more fluids content, fresh fruits, less spicy and fatty foods), have more physical activity and recreational outdoor sports to improve digestive transit and reduce excessive anxiety.

Wishing you all the best!

Feel free to ask me again in case of any further uncertainties.

Regards,

Dr. Iliri

Hi.
One more question which is important sometimes i feel little pain in my chest or heart if i am not wrong, its like a one second pain and then its gone, this scares me alot when i have this pain. And this happens like once in a week or 2 . Its like someone has pinched me in that area.

Why is this happeing.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I could explain that pinching-like chest pain is not characteristic for any heart related issue.

It is generally of musculoskeletal origin.

So, you shouldn't worry too much about!

You just need to engage in more physical activity (walking, aerobics, cycling, swimming, etc. and avoid prolonged forced positions (such as sitting in front of a computer or TV, etc.).

Please, let me know in case you have any other uncertainties!

Regards,

Dr. Iliri
