A consultation with a cardiologist is warranted. Do you have a heart murmur? A normal aortic valve has 3 cusps. If yours has only 2, you have congenital aortic valvular heart disease with eventual stenosis developing. In addition your chest pains& palpitations require a workup. Bicuspid aortic valves don't usually cause problems until adulthood. Prophylactic amoxicillin before dental work no more

A technically good echo and an experienced reader should be able to do better than "possible bicuspid valve". If you have a bicuspid valve antibiotic prophylaxis should be seriously considered. Chest pain, palpitations and "flutters" cannot be interpreted adequately. Suggest that you seek advice from an experienced cardiologist preferably with experience in echo reading. Good luck.
