Please see doctor .: Based on the information given, I cannot give you an opinion. It is not normal for the heart to be fast except during vigorous activity. Your weight is less than expected and you should make sure that there is nothing else going on. “Scarring” in the heart is unusual and raises concerns also. Please see your doctor again and discuss your concerns.
