My sister was diagnosed with an SVT problem and the doctor prescribed her calaptin 120 mg. He did an echo and an ECG and mentioned everything looked normal. But when I checked the echo report myself, it mentioned trivial MR and trivial TR. The doctor didn't mention these. Should I be concerned about them?

The presence of trivial mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the echo report is usually not a cause for concern. These are common findings in many individuals and are often considered normal variations. Trivial MR and TR typically do not require any specific treatment and do not usually impact a person's overall health. In your sister's case, since the doctor did not mention these findings and stated that the echo was normal, it is likely that these minor regurgitations are not clinically significant. However, if you have any concerns or if your sister experiences any new or worsening symptoms, it is always best to follow up with the prescribing doctor for further clarification and guidance. As for the prescribed medication, Calaptin 120 mg is a brand name for the drug Verapamil. It is commonly used to treat certain heart conditions, including supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The usual dosage for Calaptin 120 mg in the treatment of SVT is typically one tablet to be taken orally, once or twice daily, as directed by the doctor.

View allI've got a situation that's really been weighing on my mind. Someone close to me is having a heart artery valve operation, and I've learned that their valve is leaking blood. I've heard about a medication called Dilzem60, but I'm not sure if it's safe in this situation. Can you help me understand if taking Dilzem60 is advisable for someone dealing with a leaking heart valve? It would be great if you could shed some light on this.
Consult Your Cardiologist Immediately: If you suspect the valve is leaking or if you're experiencing symptoms like swelling, shortness of breath, or fatigue, contact your cardiologist immediately. Monitor Your Symptoms: Keep track of any new or worsening symptoms. Let your doctor know if you experience dizziness, chest pain, irregular heartbeats, or shortness of breath. Follow Your Doctor's Instructions: Only take the medications your cardiologist prescribes, and avoid self-adjusting the dose or stopping medications like Dilzem without their guidance.

I'm feeling really anxious lately, and I've started noticing this strange sensation where my heart suddenly seems to beat extra hard or feels delayed, especially when I'm just sitting or standing quietly. Could my anxiety be causing these strong or extra heartbeats, or is there something else going on that I should be worried about?
An ecg and psychiatric opinion for anxiety is advised to the patient..
