I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

I'm a bit confused about my recent echo reports. The first one mentioned mild MR and MVP, but when I went to another hospital for a second opinion, they only found mild MR, no MVP. What should I do next? Should I be concerned about this discrepancy?
To confirm the presence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist. In the meantime, for mild mitral regurgitation (MR), you can take medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the condition. It is also important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

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.
