I sometimes feel like there's an extra heartbeat in my chest, especially when I bend down. Could this be related to my mild tricuspid regurgitation? I'm really worried about it.

Yes, palpitations can be related to mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). To help manage your symptoms, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of extra heartbeats. Remember to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
