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've got this digital automatic blood pressure machine, and whenever I check my BP, it keeps showing around 13292, averaging about 13090. I'm really curious about how I can get it to go down to 11575. I'm thinking being overweight might be part of the issue. Can you give me some advice on how to get my blood pressure to a normal range?

It is better advised to check the blood presssure with the mercury appartus rather than digital bp machine for accurate bp measurement results..

I'm really concerned because I had COVID about three months ago, and although Im better now, my chest still feels pretty heavy sometimes. At the beginning, my left hand felt numb, and I had palpitations, so I took Corbis 2.5 for about 10 days. The palpitations seem to be okay now, but the heaviness in my chest is still there, especially if I try to work out or lift heavy things. The intensity has decreased a bit, but it's still noticeable. I've had a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, D-dimer, CKMB, TNI, BNP, MYO, a chest X-ray, and PFT, all of which came back normal. Lately, Ive noticed that if I press on my chest, I hear a crackling sound like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

That could be due to costochondritis,no need to worry take adequate rest and do breating excercises and also do use flexon tablet when you have severe pain

I've been dealing with a dry cough after starting Cardace 2.5 mg following a heart attack last month. I'm also on Brillinta, Concor, and Ecospirin. Is this cough something I should be worried about, or should I think about stopping Cardace?
