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?

View allI'm wondering about something. I had an angioplasty last year and got a stent placed. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird palpitations every night as I try to sleep, but I don't actually feel them in my chest. It's strange because they're more noticeable in my jaw. My doctor prescribed Prolomet XL 25, which I've been taking for about four months now, even though I don't have high blood pressure. I'm really curious if this is something that's going to stick around forever or if there's a way to get rid of it. What's your take on this?
The palpitations you're experiencing, particularly at night and localized to your jaw, may be related to anxiety, stress, or a cardiac issue; given your history of angioplasty and stent placement, consult your cardiologist to rule out any underlying cardiac concerns, and consider adjusting your Prolomet XL 25 dosage or exploring alternative treatments, such as beta blockers or anti-anxiety medications, to alleviate symptoms.

I'm really concerned about my health right now. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia, but my other tests like the 2D echo and blood work came back normal. I have some heart blocks, but I've been trying to manage them with diet control. The issue is, I feel breathless whenever I walk, even though I don't have any other symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?
Sinus arrhythmia is a common condition where the heart's rhythm varies with breathing. Since your 2D echo and blood tests are normal, it's a good sign. For managing heart blocks and breathlessness, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This will help in controlling your heart rate and symptoms. Additionally, continue with your diet control and regular exercise routine. If breathlessness persists, you can use a bronchodilator like Salbutamol inhaler as needed.

What does left ventricle preponderance mean? My dad got diagnosed with it and sometimes he experiences blackouts and shortness of breath, plus his blood pressure drops really low. Could all these be connected? What should we be doing about it?
Left Ventricular Preponderance might be an indication of structural changes or function issues in the heart. It could be associated with other heart conditions that affect the efficiency of the left ventricle. The symptoms your father is experiencing, including blackouts, shortness of breath, and low blood pressure, warrant further evaluation and management by a cardiologist. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help in managing his condition and preventing complications.
