My dr told me last year after my heart ultrasound that the back of my heart was slightly thicker. she wasn't worried. now i wonder, cardiomyopathy?

Why an U/S of heart: At 19 yrs of age why were you getting an echocardiogram of your heart in the first place? You shouldn't be having tests just to have tests! At 19 you should in general have serious heart issues. You live in Massachusetts. Go to Boston Children's with your results and speak to one of their cardiologists to allay your fears.
