I'm a bit confused about my previous diagnosis of mild mitral valve regurgitation. My old doctor assured me everything would be fine, but suggested a check-up around 2017-18 just for peace of mind. Another doctor on Practo agreed there was nothing major to worry about. But, sometimes I still feel something around the valve and it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind. Can you help me find some reputed doctors or clinics in Bangalore to get this checked out? I'd really appreciate any assistance with this.

View allI've been feeling like someone is poking me with a pin or needle in my chest. It's not exactly painful, more like a sensation that's making me feel restless. It's been going on for about a week and seems to have gotten slightly worse. I'm a bit worried because visiting hospitals seems risky right now with all the COVID outbreaks. Do you have any idea what might be happening to me?

I've recently turned 23, and I've been monitoring my blood pressure at home with an Omron monitor I got last month. My readings always seem a bit high, with systolic between 125-135 and diastolic between 85-95. My heart rate is hanging out between 95-110, even when I'm just resting. I've been feeling some burning and pressure on my chest with occasional pain. It's not severe, but it happens. I had an ECG and Echo last year, and the doctor said they were normal, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about these numbers and symptoms? Do you think I should consult with a doctor?
It's important to address your elevated blood pressure and resting heart rate. Based on your symptoms and readings, it would be advisable to start medication to manage your blood pressure. I recommend starting with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is appropriate for you. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure and heart rate is also essential.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and I've noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I've been taking Dytor 40mg every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?
It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.
