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.

I'm a bit worried about my 65-year-old relative who recently had an angiography, and it showed they have about three blockages in the 70-80% range. We're not totally sure about the accuracy of the angiography report we got, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have another angiography done. If so, how long should we wait between the two procedures? Also, could doing a repeat angiography pose any risks or problems for them?

Repeat angiography can be done if there are doubts about the initial report. The interval between two angiographies is usually around 6-12 months, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendation of the treating physician. Repeating angiography may pose some risks such as contrast-induced nephropathy or allergic reactions, but these risks are generally low and can be managed by the medical team.

I'm taking atorvastatin, 10mg, for my hyperlipidemia. I'm a bit worried if this might cause a drop in my blood platelet count. Could you help me understand the risk?

Atorvastatin is not known to directly cause low blood platelet count. However, in rare cases, some individuals may experience a decrease in platelet count while taking atorvastatin. If you notice any unusual bruising or bleeding, please consult your healthcare provider.
