Normal Echo: First reassure your self this is a normal test. If no symptoms, there is not much else to worry about. If there are signs such as murmurs (innocent noted on profile), then no need to worry about the innocent. If you have palpitations, abnormal ecg, etc. May need a different test. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and that is what you're suppose to do.
