Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This may be an age related change. No need to worry and no need of any treatment at this point. Also you will need repeated echo after 1 to 2 years.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
