I was just in the hospital for covid, and they treated me with dexa and antibiotic injections. I got discharged yesterday, but now my heart rate is really slowlike 48 to 49 bpm. Is this something serious? I'm kinda worried about what's going on.

I'm dealing with both mitral and aortic valve stenosis, plus some leakage, and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if that's possible. Is there anything that can help me steer clear of needing valve replacement surgery?

Mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve leakage can be managed with medication to help control symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition. For mitral valve stenosis, you can take medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, beta-blockers to control heart rate, and blood thinners to prevent blood clots. For aortic valve leakage, medications like ACE inhibitors or ARBs can help reduce strain on the heart and improve symptoms. It is important to regularly monitor your condition with your healthcare provider and follow their recommendations for medication dosage and frequency.

I'm a bit concerned about a TMT test I did a couple of days ago. The results came back as a normal stress test, but while reaching a 100 heart rate during the test, I experienced some mild dizziness that lasted for about 2 minutes. It was manageable and got better after I rested. I could walk and move around fine afterward, but I had a mild headache for the rest of the day. The next day, I felt completely okay, and there were no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal for TMT results? Please check my report and advise.

Based on your description and the results of your TMT test showing a normal stress test with no inducible ischemia, it is reassuring that there are no significant cardiac issues detected. The mild and manageable dizziness you experienced towards the end of the test may have been due to the physical exertion during the test, which is not uncommon. It is good to hear that the symptoms resolved after resting and that you were able to walk and move without any difficulty. The mild headache you experienced throughout the day could also be related to the physical stress of the test. It is positive that you felt completely alright the next day and that no other symptoms occurred. I would recommend staying hydrated and getting adequate rest. If you experience similar symptoms during physical exertion in the future, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. Overall, based on the information provided, there does not appear to be a significant concern, but it is always important to listen to your body and seek medical advice if needed."
