Question 1

I've been having this weird discomfort in my upper left chest for a while now. So, I went to a cardiologist and did all the tests like ECHO, ECG, and TMT, which thankfully came back normal. The doc said it might just be muscular pain, and they also found out I have a Vitamin D3 deficiency, so I'm on tablets for that. Plus, they advised me to lose some weight since I'm considered overweight. But there's something nagging at me from my ECHO report  it mentions "trivial tricuspid regurgitation" and "trivial mitral regurgitation." I asked the doctor, and he said it's not a big deal, but I can't help but worry. What do those terms mean, and should I be concerned about it getting worse?

Accepted Answer

Trivial means minimal which is negligible,no need to worry about ir 8 out 10 people will have such report and its not significant,maintain healthy lifestyle and follow your doctors advice

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned because when I place my hand on my chest, I can't feel my heartbeat. However, I can easily feel my pulse in the veins of my hand when I'm sitting quietly. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Question 3

I've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

take pantop 40mg for 3 days

I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?
