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?

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 allMy mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

I'm feeling this strange beating sensation on the left side of my chest, close to my heart. What could be causing this?
The sensation you are experiencing could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. However, if the palpitations are occasional and not associated with any other symptoms, you can try over-the-counter medication like **Propranolol** at a dose of 10-40mg as needed to help reduce the sensation. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package

Respect sir, Ive been dealing with the effects of the second wave of COVID and was on steroids. Im a bit on the heavier side, weighing 140 kgs, and I have a fear of heart issues. While I dont have any diagnosed heart problems, I get really anxious whenever I see stuff about heart issues on TV or my phone. Sometimes I experience pain in my right hand, and although my ECG results are normal, it worries me. Should I be considering a TMT test, or is there another test I should look into for peace of mind?
Based on your symptoms and concerns, it would be advisable for you to undergo a TMT (Treadmill Stress Test) to assess your heart's function and detect any potential issues related to your chest pain and fear of heart problems. Additionally, considering your weight and fibromyalgia condition, it would be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
