I'm really concerned because for the last three months, my heart has been skipping beats every half an hour or so. My blood pressure is recorded at 14090. I've seen a cardiologist and had tests like an echo, ECG, and holter done. My doctor has put me on Olmesar 20 for my blood pressure and Ciplar LA 20 mg for 15 days. I'm really worried about the trivial mitral regurgitation and these skipped heartbeats. What should I be expecting or doing about this?

Trivial mitral regurgitation is a common condition where a small amount of blood flows backward through the mitral valve with each heartbeat. It usually does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. As for your skipped heartbeats, also known as palpitations, they can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, or certain medications. Your doctor has prescribed Olmesar 20 for your blood pressure and Ciplar LA 20 mg for 15 days to help with your heart rate. Olmesar is a brand name for Olmesartan, which helps lower blood pressure. Ciplar LA is a brand name for Propranolol, which can help regulate your heart rate. It is important to take these medications as prescribed and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. If you continue to experience skipped heartbeats or have any concerns, make sure to inform your doctor for further guidance.

View allI'm really confused. My ECG, TMT, and 2D Echo all came back negative, but I'm still experiencing chest pain and pain in my left upper arm. What should I do next?
This could be due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You can try taking over-the-counter medication like Imodium (Loperamide) 2mg after meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to regulate your bowel movements.

My cousin just got his echo report back and the doctor said everything looks normal. He didn't prescribe any medication. His BP is normal and he doesn't have any sugar issues either. Should we be worried about anything? Is there something serious we're missing? Is this totally curable?
Based on this information, there doesn't seem to be anything serious to be concerned about. It's always a good sign when test results come back normal. As there are no specific medications prescribed, it seems like there is no immediate medical treatment required. It's important to continue with regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle to maintain good health. If any symptoms or concerns arise in the future, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about this chest pain I've been having. It's been going on for about a month now, right where I can feel my heartbeat. It's been getting worse over the past few days, and it even hurts when I laugh or move my left hand. I did see a doctor when it was less painful, and they said it was muscular pain, but I'm honestly not convinced. I didn't lift anything heavy or suffer any injury, and it's just that specific spot that hurts. Could this be something more serious than muscular pain?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Since the pain has been increasing and is now triggered by laughing or moving your left hand, it's important to take it seriously. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) as a precautionary measure to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Additionally, you should follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly consider an ECG to rule out any heart-related issues.
