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 allCan a young person really die from hypertension? I'm super anxious because whenever I get anxious, my heart starts racing and I worry it might lead to a sudden cardiac arrest. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Hypertension can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. While it is rare for a young person to die directly from hypertension, it is important to manage and control high blood pressure to prevent long-term complications. Anxiety itself does not directly cause hypertension, but it can contribute to temporary spikes in blood pressure. It is important to address and manage anxiety to prevent these spikes and reduce the risk of complications. In your case, managing anxiety may help reduce your heart palpitations and lower the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. To help manage your anxiety and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider speaking with a healthcare provider about potential treatment options. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your overall well-being.

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing chest pain for a few months now. My X-ray and ECG both came back normal, but the pain keeps coming and going within about 30 seconds. It switches locations, sometimes on the left side, other times on the right, and occasionally its in the upper or lower chest. I'm really worried about my heart. Could this actually be related to gas like the doctor suggested?
As you had done investigation like ecg so chest pain is not due to cardiac issue .Yes it can be because of acid reflus .Ans xray is also normal and you dont have any cough sneezing breathlessness and your age is so young so it could because of gas
