I'm a bit confused about my recent echo reports. The first one mentioned mild MR and MVP, but when I went to another hospital for a second opinion, they only found mild MR, no MVP. What should I do next? Should I be concerned about this discrepancy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To confirm the presence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist. In the meantime, for mild mitral regurgitation (MR), you can take medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the condition. It is also important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm 25 and recently got vaccinated, but I've started having chest pains and trouble breathing. My ECG shows something called a left anterior hemiblock. Is this something serious? What should I do about it?
Left anterior hemiblock is a condition where there is a delay in the electrical signal conduction in the heart. In most cases, it is not considered a serious issue, especially in young individuals like yourself. However, since you are experiencing chest pains and breathing issues after vaccination, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. To address the chest pains and breathing issues, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest pain and practice deep breathing exercises to help with breathing. It is also important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. In terms of the left anterior hemiblock, it is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may suggest monitoring your heart rhythm regularly and making lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. If necessary, they may prescribe medications like beta-blockers to help regulate your heart rate. Overall, it is important to stay in touch with your healthcare provider and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you have any concerns.

I've been noticing these small heart flutters and tiny head rushes almost every day in the early evening, and they're always really brief. I had an ECG about a year ago and everything seemed alright back then, but last night around 8 pm, I had a much more intense one while I was just sitting down, and it really caught me off guard. I'm an ex-smoker, keep myself decently fit with moderate exercise, and I'm not overweight. Should I be worried about this bigger episode, or could it be related to something specific?

Is it really possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even when the pulmonary artery looks normal and there's no turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that can happen. Could there be underlying issues or does it indicate a different problem? I'm a bit concerned and just trying to understand why this might occur.
Yes, it is possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even with normal pulmonary artery anatomy and no turbulence. In such cases, the hypertension may be due to other underlying factors such as inflammation, vasoconstriction, or other vascular abnormalities. Treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension may include medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) to help relax the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.
