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'm dealing with this dull aching pain under my left breast, near my armpit, and it's been there for about two years now. It feels a bit better if I press on it, but it's still really painful. I was put on anxiety meds, but they haven't helped at all. What could be causing this pain and is there anything else I could try?

My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?

I'm really struggling with these palpitations. Even though all my echocardiography results and other tests came back normal, I keep experiencing them out of the blue while I'm just going about my day. It's starting to worry me because I can't pin down why it's happening. Could there be something else going on that the tests didn't pick up? What should I do next?
Palpitations can be caused by various factors, including anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or certain medications. In your case, since all tests are normal, you may consider trying a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations. It can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
