I've been dealing with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation, and I've had pericarditis a few times. The problem is I don't have health insurance, so I'm a bit worried about when I actually need to see a doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing numbness in my legs, feet, and arms, and I occasionally get dizzy when I stand up. There's also some discomfort in my chest, but it's not super intense. I'm really wondering if these are signs that I should be heading to a doctor despite not having insurance. What do you suggest I do?
These symptoms could indicate a worsening of your heart condition or potential nerve issues. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for chest discomfort. However, it is crucial to address the underlying issues. For your heart conditions, you can take medications like Metoprolol for mitral valve prolapse and Colchicine for pericarditis. To improve blood circulation and relieve numbness, you can try Aspirin and Vitamin B complex supplements. Please visit a healthcare facility for a thorough evaluation and proper management of your symptoms.

I'm curious about what's happening with my heart. Sometimes my ECG shows these non-specific ST changes, and while my echo was normal, I'm still worried. I often feel chest discomfort and pains in my left arm. Is there something specific these ST changes could indicate, even though my ECG and echo seem alright? Could something be missed?
Non-specific ST changes on an ECG can be caused by various factors, including electrolyte imbalances, medications, anxiety, or even normal variation. Since your echocardiogram was normal, it is less likely to be related to a structural heart problem. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and left arm pains, it is important to continue monitoring and investigating further. To address your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like aspirin for chest discomfort (75-325mg once daily) and acetaminophen for pain relief in your left arm (500-1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed). Additionally, you may benefit from a medication like ranitidine for acid reflux if present (150mg twice daily). It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
