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 done an ECG, echo, and TMT test recently, and while everything seems normal, I'm still feeling this burning or electric shock sensation in my left arm, neck, shoulder, and back. Sometimes it feels like my chest is being pinched, and it seems like whatever I eat gets stuck in my throat. I don't have major breathlessness, but the palpitations and anxiety are really kicking in. How long are these test results valid for? I'm pretty worried, and I'm unsure who I should consult next since the doctor said everything's fine and no treatment is needed. What should I do?
The tests you mentioned (ECG, echo, TMT) are typically valid for a short period of time, usually a few days to weeks. Since your symptoms are persisting despite normal test results, it's important to consider other possibilities. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or acid reflux, which can sometimes mimic heart-related issues. To help with the burning sensation in your left arm, neck, shoulder, and back, as well as the feeling of something stuck in your throat, you can try taking antacids like **Tums** (dosage: 2 tablets as needed) for relief. For the chest discomfort and palpitations, you can take **Atenolol** (dosage: 25-50mg once a day) to help with the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek further medical advice for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm 41, unmarried, and I'm carrying quite a bit of extra weight108 kg with a height of 5 feet 7 inches. I've got asthma and I used to take Formoflo inhaler 250mg and Asthalin rotohaler 200mg regularly, even Montek AB for a bit. But since I haven't had symptoms for a while, I stopped. Then recently, after climbing stairs, I had some breathing trouble and found myself needing to take deep breaths and yawning a lot throughout the evening. I did an ECG a week ago that showed everything was okayjust that my heart skipped a beat. My last master health check-up was 45 days ago and that was fine too. I saw a cardiologist because I had chest pain, and they suggested doing a TMT. I've also got GERD. So, my mind's been racing a bitshould I be worried about heart disease or fluid in my lungs? I'd really appreciate some guidance.
