I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've just been told I have a myocardiac bridge 1520. Lately, I've had a bit of right chest pain, some tightness, and I'm feeling kind of weak. Can you help me understand what's going on with me? I'm really curious and a bit worried.

Myocardial bridge is a condition where a segment of one of the coronary arteries tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, and weakness. In your case, with a myocardial bridge of 15-20%, it is important to manage your symptoms and monitor for any changes. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take medications such as Beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to reduce the workload on your heart and relieve chest pain. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be used for acute chest pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness, even without pushing myself too hard physically. I had an echocardiogram, and it turns out I have mitral valve prolapse with just mild mitral regurgitation. Is it usual to have these symptoms with only mild regurgitation? Also, it's been tough not being active, and I've dropped to an underweight level. To top it off, I've been experiencing erectile dysfunction. Could this be linked to the mitral valve prolapse?

So, I've been prescribed aspirin 75 mg by my doctor, but because of the weekend lockdown, I wasn't able to visit them. I ended up buying ecosprin 75 mg from the pharmacy instead. I'm curious, are aspirin 75 mg and ecosprin 75 mg the same thing?
