I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

View allI'm doing exercise six days a week and I've noticed my heart rate is a bit high sometimes. There are moments when my heart feels chilly, and occasionally, after eating, it feels like there's a burning sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms or is this normal?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heartburn and possibly some irregular heartbeats. For heartburn, you can try taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. If the symptoms persist, you can also consider taking an H2 blocker like Zantac (ranitidine) 150mg twice daily. For irregular heartbeats, it's important to monitor your heart rate and rhythm. If you continue to experience high heart rate, you may need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because ever since I had COVID, my pulse rate has been around 100 and I've been experiencing palpitations. My doctor suggested I get an echocardiogram done, and I've attached the report here. Can you tell me if everything looks normal? I'm particularly concerned about the mention of trivial tricuspid regurgitationdoes that need treatment?
Trivial TR is a normal finding in healthy heart. Your echo is normal. Post covid palpitations are also seen in many patients. However if the symptoms are severe enough, you may need some medication.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've had my mitral valve replaced with a mechanical one and now I need to be on Acitron, a blood thinner, for the rest of my life. Could you tell me which foods I should be steering clear of? I'm worried about how my diet might affect my condition.
As your doctor, Id advise you to avoid foods high in vitamin K, like spinach, kale, and broccoli, as they can interfere with Acitrons effectiveness. Limit alcohol, grapefruit, and cranberry products, and always maintain a consistent diet to avoid fluctuations in your INR levels.
