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?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. My triglycerides are at 343, total cholesterol is 145, HDL is 21, and LDL is 55.4. By the way, I had an angioplasty just a month ago. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? Should I be worried or make any changes to my routine?
Your lipid profile indicates significantly elevated triglycerides at 343 mgdL, low HDL cholesterol at 21 mgdL, and relatively low LDL cholesterol at 55.4 mgdL. These values are concerning, especially given that you recently underwent angioplasty. Elevated triglycerides and low HDL levels are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of further complications. It is essential to follow a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medications to manage lipid levels. Work closely with your cardiologist to monitor and manage your lipid profile, and follow their recommendations to reduce cardiovascular risk.

I'm a bit concerned because my diastolic pressure keeps hitting around or sometimes over 100, while my systolic pressure is almost always under 130, only rarely going above that. Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean I'm a BP patient now? Also, I'm really interested in knowing if there's a natural way to manage this without having to rely on tablets. What can I do?
