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've been having this strange sensation in my chest at night, especially when I lie down flat. It sort of feels like something is squeezing or tingling inside. There isn't any pain or trouble breathing, but it does make me pretty uncomfortable. It never lasts more than an hour, and I seem to feel better if I change my sleeping position. I'm on high blood pressure medicine and recently got my kidney and thyroid functions checked, and everything was normal. I'm curious about what might be causing this. Could it be related to the medication or something else?

I'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?
High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

My dad had angioplasty surgery 5 years back and has been doing fine with normal reports, but his doctor keeps adding new tablets every visit without changing the old ones. The clinic is also quite far, so we're thinking of switching doctors is it okay to make that change?
cardiology opinion is advised.
