I'm dealing with this health issue and I'm wondering what steps I can take to overcome it. Is it a condition that can be cured? I'm curious if trimetazidine would be beneficial for me, and are there any good natural supplements or vitamins and minerals that are good for my heart? My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal, but I sometimes experience shortness of breath, back pain, and heart pain. Is it possible for my mitral valve to return to normal function with a healthier lifestyle?

Trimetazidine is a medication that can be used to help manage symptoms of angina by improving blood flow to the heart. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. In addition to medication, you can also consider taking natural supplements such as Coenzyme Q10, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Magnesium to support heart health. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, and avoiding smoking. These lifestyle changes can help improve the function of your mitral valve and overall heart health.

View allI've had a 2D echo and an ECG, and both came back normal, and my TMT was negative too. But sometimes I get this pinching pain on the left side of my chest that lasts for about 9-10 seconds. It really freaks me out and makes me anxious, thinking there might be something wrong with my heart. What could this be and what should I do about it?
It's good that your 2D echo, ECG, and TMT results were normal. The pain you are experiencing could be due to anxiety or muscle strain. To alleviate the pain and anxiety, you can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can help reduce anxiety. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm feeling really anxious because I've had this mild chest pain between my right breast and the center of my chest for the last 15 days. It happens when I twist my shoulder to the right. I started taking Pantoprazole 40 and Myospaz Forte as recommended by a local doctor three days ago, but the pain is still there. What should I do now?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain in your chest area. In addition to the medications you are already taking, you can try taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the chest and shoulder muscles may also help alleviate the discomfort. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your local doctor for further evaluation and possibly imaging studies to rule out any other underlying causes of your chest pain.

I've been having these heart palpitations for about 4 years now, where my heart just suddenly starts pounding, fluttering, or even racing out of nowhere, even when I'm not doing anything physical. The first time it happened was during a cricket practice right after I started jogging, and since then, it's been an on-and-off thing. It freaks me out whenever it happens, and I'm really worried about what it means for my future. Most of the time, I try not to think about it, and my heartbeat stays normal, but then, bam, it starts racing again when I'm just chilling. This issue made me quit sports, so I turned to yoga, which kind of helps since I'm focusing more on my breathing. The weird thing is, the first time I got an ECG, it showed my heart rate was at 122 beats per minute. The doctor back then just told me to avoid stress, but then my mom passed away, which was super stressful, and it made the palpitations worse. But it's strange because I don't have chest pain or dizziness. What do you make of this? Should I be really worried?
It sounds like you have been dealing with heart palpitations for a while now, which can be quite distressing. Based on your description, it seems like you may be experiencing episodes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which can cause the fluttering, pounding, and racing sensations in your heart. One medication that is commonly used to help control heart palpitations like SVT is Verapamil. The usual dosage for Verapamil in cases of SVT is around 120-240 mg per day, divided into 3-4 doses. Additionally, if you are still experiencing palpitations despite lifestyle changes like yoga, your doctor may consider prescribing you a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol. The typical starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of palpitations is 25-50 mg twice a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Remember to also continue practicing stress-reducing techniques like yoga to help manage your symptoms.
