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've been keeping an eye on my health and just found out that my blood pressure is at 14090. My ECG report shows that my right bundle branch is blocked, and now my doctor wants me to start taking CYTOGARD and MONIT GTN 2.6. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about starting these medications since I don't really have any symptoms. Is it really necessary to take them, or should I hold off until there's something more serious going on?

I'm really worried about this LAD thing showing up on my ECG. I don't have any symptoms, and my echo came back normal, so I'm confused about why it's happening. Should I be concerned about how this might impact my life span?
if your ECG shows LAD (Left Anterior Descending) without any symptoms and your echo is normal, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. LAD is a coronary artery that supplies blood to the front part of the heart. In some cases, an ECG may show variations that are not clinically significant. However, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To ensure your heart health and longevity, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor about starting a statin medication like atorvastatin (10-20mg) to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are also important for maintaining a healthy heart. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms in the future, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
