A 54-year-old female asked:

I have some light heart problems: palpitation, heart flutters, chest pain, an enlarged aorta (not to the dangerous level). can intermittent fasting (i want to do it when i don't feel hungry and probably once or twice a week) harm my heart?

You have a number of abnormalities that warrant a cardiac evaluation as soon as you can arrange for it. Heart irregularity, a dilated aorta and chest pain require a detailed history and further evaluation. You have not provided an adequate history including a family history . Did you ever have any chest pain. Anybody in the family with aortic disease or Marian’s syndrome? Get yourself evaluated!

A 34-year-old male asked:
Not sure what I'm feeling with my heart. Once in a while when working out, I'll feel a flutter or two in my chest. But maybe it's a palpitation. Feels like it beats REALLY hard for a single beat. Arrhythmia runs in my family. Should I be concerned?

I did an echocardiogram and the impression was possible bicuspid aortic valve with trace aortic regurgitation. Trace tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonic regurgitation. What does this mean ? I have severe chest pain, heart palpitations, and flutters?
