I'm a bit concerned about the results from my recent cardiac reports. Everything came back normal except the echocardiography, which indicated a mild mitral prolapse. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild mitral valve prolapse is usually not a cause for concern and often does not require treatment. It is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups to monitor your heart health. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath, you should consult your doctor. No specific medication is required for mild mitral valve prolapse.

View allI've been noticing that my resting pulse rate is around 90-100, and sometimes it even goes above 100. I often feel these strong heart palpitations. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, and my blood pressure is fine too. I'm 24 and weigh 67 kg. People say it might be due to anxiety, and yeah, I do worry about my career and family like everyone else. I don't eat junk food, and I drink about 3-4 cups of tea a day max. I'm just really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Could it really be just anxiety, or should I be looking into something else?

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and I recently got a reading of 121 over 68. I know that typically the lower number should be around 80, so I'm a little concerned. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I'm wondering if I should be worried about that lower number being 68. Could you give me some insight into whether this is normal or if I should be doing something about it?
A diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 68 mmHg is actually considered within the normal range, as the American Heart Association defines normal DBP as less than 80 mmHg, and a DBP between 60-79 mmHg is generally associated with better cardiovascular health, so your reading of 12168 mmHg is considered normal for a healthy 23-year-old male.

I recently had an echo test and it showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and mild mitral regurgitation. My ECG also has prominent R waves and my blood pressure is pretty high at 130100. I'm only 29 years old and I'm really concerned about what all this means for my health. Is there something serious going on here? What steps should I take next?
