I was recently told I have mitral valve regurgitation with trivial mitral regurgitation, and I'm really worried about how long it might take for this to get worse, like to a moderate or severe level. Do most people with this condition experience a worsening over time, and how common is it for it to progress? I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything else because I'm so anxious about it. Can you help clarify this for me?

I recently had a TMT test and got a negative result, but a couple of PVCs showed up during the test. Should I be worried about this? Is there any treatment or something I should consider?
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). Occasional PVCs are typically harmless, especially if you have no underlying heart disease. However, if you are experiencing frequent PVCs or have a history of heart disease, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, if PVCs are causing symptoms or are frequent, your doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmic medications such as **Metoprolol** at a specific dosage to help reduce the occurrence of PVCs and manage any associated symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, managing stress, and getting regular exercise may also help in managing PVCs. Remember, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan based on your individual health needs.

I'm really worried because my recent test showed high levels of homocysteine, about 10 points above the upper range. I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that might help with this. Can you offer any advice or suggestions?
High homocysteine means that your blood is thicker and because of smoke or smoking or because of dusty environment so stop smoking or else your blood will be thicker and you will have high chances of blockage in your blood vessels
