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 concerned because my Echo report says IAS and IVS are intact, and I'm not entirely sure what that means in relation to my health. My blood pressure's been high at 150100, and I'm just trying to figure out if that's connected somehow. Could you help me understand what's going on?
echo shows IAS abd IVS intact means both IAS and IVS are not damaged...Antihypertensives are indicated for the control of hypertension..ACE inhibitors are advised

I've noticed when I'm lying down that I can really feel my heartbeat in my left chest and sometimes even in other parts of my body. I've already had an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My anxiety has been under control, but this is still happening. Could it be something else or is this just something normal?
can be due to benign causes such as heightened awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations) or muscle twitching. This can be exacerbated by anxiety. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to reduce the sensation of palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can also be beneficial in managing these symptoms.

Is it possible for a 25-year-old female who just had surgery for a 35mm ASD heart issue to live a normal life afterward, or are there likely to be any complications?
After 35mm ASD heart surgery, it is possible to have a normal life with proper care and follow-up. However, there may be some complications that can arise post-surgery, such as infection, bleeding, arrhythmias, or fluid accumulation around the heart. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for medications and follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery progress. As for medications, you may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection, blood thinners to prevent clot formation, and pain medication as needed. Additionally, you may need to take medications to manage any underlying heart conditions. It is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to support your recovery and overall heart health.
