Question 1

I sometimes feel like there's an extra heartbeat in my chest, especially when I bend down. Could this be related to my mild tricuspid regurgitation? I'm really worried about it.

Accepted Answer

Yes, palpitations can be related to mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). To help manage your symptoms, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of extra heartbeats. Remember to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and they make me feel really uncomfortable and short of breath. I've also been feeling pretty tired lately. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried about this?

It could be related to underlying heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart valve disorders, or heart failure. Other possible causes include thyroid disorders, anxiety or panic attacks, anemia, or even certain medications. To address the symptoms, it is important to first identify the underlying cause. I recommend you consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Yes, you're on the right track. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) suggests that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart, and an angiogram is a standard follow-up to check for any blockages. It is possible that an angiogram might show no significant blockages; sometimes TMT results are positive due to other factors. Angiograms are generally safe, but they do carry minimal risks, such as bleeding, infection, or, rarely, an allergic reaction to the dye used.
