Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your cardiac ultrasound findings are not related to your complaints.
Anxiety or a musculo-skeletal pain could be the cause of your symptoms.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a cervico-thoracic spine X-ray study, a chest X-ray study and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
A spine MRI study may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
