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 a 17-year-old guy and for the past three months, I've been having really frequent heart palpitations, like 4 to 5 times a day, sometimes even 6 or 7. It's just that feeling of my heart skipping a beat for a couple of seconds before it goes back to normal. It happens all of a sudden and I'm wondering if this could mean there's some heart disease going on. My resting pulse is 104. Also, I've noticed my hair has started thinning a bit. Could there be some link between the palpitations and things like nutritional deficiencies or low blood count?
It is important to investigate the cause of your frequent heart palpitations and elevated resting pulse rate. One possible connection between your symptoms of heart palpitations and hair thinning could be an underlying thyroid issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can consider taking **Propranolol 10mg** for symptomatic relief of palpitations. However, this is not a definitive treatment and a proper diagnosis is necessary.

I'm really worried about using the ziverdo kit for someone who's already taking a mix of medications, like 5mg of warfarin, 500mg of hydroxyurea, ciplar la 40, and 88mcg of thyroxin. Do you think it's safe to go ahead with the kit, or could there be some complications with these meds?
yes you can use it

How is heart affected in diabetes?
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
