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.

I'm really confused about my recent medical test results. I initially went to the doctor for a gastric problem, and they told me to take a troponin test. The result came back positive, with a level of 0.03, which worried me. But then, my family doctor suggested I get a second opinion, so I went to MMM Chennai on the same day, and their test showed a negative result. Now I'm not sure which result to believe or what steps I should take next. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
Troponin is a cardiac marker used to diagnose heart conditions. In your case, since there is a discrepancy between the two test results, it is important to consider further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a detailed assessment. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues while awaiting further evaluation.

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.
