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'm checking my husband's pulse with the oximeter while he's sitting, and it's showing between 55 and 64. He's 34, has no health problems, but is currently COVID positive. Is this a normal reading? Would love some insight!
A pulse rate of 55 to 64 beats per minute while sitting can be considered normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. However, in the context of being COVID positive, it is important to monitor his pulse rate closely as it can be affected by the infection. If he experiences any symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain along with the low pulse rate, it is advisable to seek medical attention. As of now, continue monitoring his pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels regularly.

I'm experiencing sudden and strong heartbeats in my chest, and it just happens out of nowhere. It's really uncomfortable, and even something as simple as walking can set it off. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest any solutions?
Sudden strong heartbeat and discomfort in the chest, especially during simple activities like walking, could be due to a condition called atrial fibrillation. It is a type of irregular heartbeat that can lead to serious complications if not treated. I recommend you to take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and rhythm. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with mitral stenosis and had a balloon mitral valvotomy about two years ago. I'm really anxious to know about my life expectancy now. I've attached my ECG and echo results. Could you help me understand what to expect going forward?
"Based on your history of mitral stenosis and previous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) done 2 years ago, your life expectancy can vary depending on various factors such as the severity of the stenosis, your overall health, and any other underlying medical conditions. It is important to regularly follow up with your cardiologist for monitoring and management. For mitral stenosis, medications such as diuretics, beta-blockers, and anticoagulants may be prescribed to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, surgical intervention or another BMV procedure may be recommended. Without reviewing your specific ECG and echo results, I cannot provide a precise estimate of your life expectancy. It is best to discuss this question with your cardiologist who has access to your complete medical history and test results."
