View allI'm 28 and just got my echo results. It says I have a mitral valve prolapse with mild mitral regurgitation and a tricuspid valve prolapse with mild tricuspid regurgitation. My LEVF is 60, and my heart rate is 110. Should I be worried about these findings? Is this something serious?
Based on your echo report, the presence of mild mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation, as well as mild tricuspid valve prolapse and regurgitation, along with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60% and a heart rate of 110 beats per minute, indicate some abnormalities in your heart function. While mild valve prolapse and regurgitation are common and may not cause significant issues, it is important to monitor them regularly. To address the mild regurgitation and prolapse, you can take medication such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol Succinate (Toprol XL) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce strain on the valves. Additionally, you may benefit from ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril (Zestril) to help manage any potential heart failure risk. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your heart condition. Regular monitoring and lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking, can also help manage these conditions and prevent any serious complications.

I'm a bit worried about some stuff I've been experiencing. Sometimes when I talk loudly, I feel this pain in my chest. I usually masturbate maybe twice or thrice a month, often while watching porn or imagining naked women, and that always made my heart race. Recently, I've tried to stop watching but still experience the pain whenever I shout. Could there be a link between these things, or should I be concerned about the pain when speaking loudly?
