View allI'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've had borderline high cholesterol for about a year now. My doctor is suggesting I start on medication, but I'm thinking maybe I could hold off for another month or two and try to make some more lifestyle changes. Is it okay to wait a bit longer before starting meds? And if I do start taking statins, is it possible to stop them later if my cholesterol levels improve?
Statins are medications commonly used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding starting or stopping statins. However, if you want to delay starting statins and focus on lifestyle changes first, you can discuss this with your doctor. Once you start taking statins, it is generally recommended to continue them as prescribed by your doctor. However, in some cases, with close monitoring and under the guidance of your healthcare provider, it may be possible to stop statin therapy. It is important to not stop statins abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can have negative effects on your cholesterol levels and overall health. If you have concerns about starting statins or want to explore other options, it is best to have a discussion with your doctor to create a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs and preferences.
