Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Such a finding may be common at your age and you shouldn't worry to much about it. The only recommendation on your case is to do a complete evaluation of cardiac status with:
- Cardiac echo
- Stress test
- Holter monitoring
If everything is fine you should continue follow up with cardiologist once a year.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
