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've been having chest pain on the left side for about a year now. I've done all sorts of tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. For more clarity, I even had a CT coronary angiogram done. I've attached the frame and report here. Could you please take a look and let me know what's going on?
It is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac causes of chest pain. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and maintaining good posture may also be beneficial. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?
At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.

I'm really confused about my recent medical test results. I initially went to the doctor for a gastric problem, and they told me to take a troponin test. The result came back positive, with a level of 0.03, which worried me. But then, my family doctor suggested I get a second opinion, so I went to MMM Chennai on the same day, and their test showed a negative result. Now I'm not sure which result to believe or what steps I should take next. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
Troponin is a cardiac marker used to diagnose heart conditions. In your case, since there is a discrepancy between the two test results, it is important to consider further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a detailed assessment. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues while awaiting further evaluation.
