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 allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been getting short of breath when she climbs stairs or does chores around the house. She doesn't have diabetes and isn't overweight. She used to go for walks all the time, but she stopped since she's taking care of my newborn. I suggested she try walking short distances again. Can you tell me what might be going on with her?

I've been feeling really off lately, like yesterday before lunch I was sweating a lot and my whole body felt weak, especially my legs. I tried eating some chocolate and rice but I was still sweating. So I went to the hospital and they said my BP was fine, and my GRBS was 153, about 45 minutes after eating. The ECG said sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and short PR interval, but the doctors said everything's normal when they compared it to an old ECG I had. I'm worried because I take Esomac for gastric issues and Cardace for BP, but I've been having mild chest pains almost every day. Ive done tmt echo tests many times and they always come back normal, but Im so anxious about my heart all the time. Now, I get really tired just walking for like 20 minutes. What could be going on?
The ECG from yesterday shows sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and a short PR interval. Given your symptoms of sweating, weakness, and fatigue, along with your history of mild chest pain and anxiety about your heart, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. Since your previous ECGs have been normal, it is reassuring that there are no significant changes at this time. Considering your current medications, Esomac 40mg for gastric issues and Cardace H5 for blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking them as prescribed. To address your concerns about tiredness and anxiety, I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about the possibility of adjusting your medications or exploring other treatment options. In addition, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise within your limits, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new concerns, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm really worried about this heart murmur that was detected during my TB treatment. I completed 9 months of medication, and an echo test came back normal. But the heart murmur is still being detected. Could the TB meds be causing this? It all started when I began taking them. What should I do?
Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.
