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'm currently taking telmisat 40 mg and ctd 6.25 along with amlosafe 5mg as you suggested. My blood pressure was initially 15097, and while the upper number has dropped to 130, the lower part is still around 100. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
it seems like your systolic blood pressure has improved from 150 to 130 but the diastolic blood pressure is still elevated around 97. To further manage your blood pressure, I recommend adding a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg to your current regimen. This will help lower your diastolic blood pressure effectively. Please consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication."

I'm having this weird feeling of chest tightness over the past few days, and I'm experiencing shortness of breath, but there's no pain involved. A couple of days ago, I noticed pain on the left side of my chest, but that's gone now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a 27-year-old male with a family background of heart issues, and I've been struggling with some concerns about my health. I smoke and drink daily and recently got my tests done where my lipid profile showed high LDL, TG, Hscrp, and Lpa levels. I saw a cardiologist four months ago, and after undergoing an ECG and Stress Echo, everything was normal. However, I often have bronchitis, and a few days ago, I caught a cold and have had allergies. Lately, I've been feeling this pressure in the middle of my chest and having trouble breathing, along with dizziness while walking, which has been going on for around 34 days. There's also this dragging sensation on my left front shoulder. I went for another ECG, and it was normal, but there's still pressure in my throat and chest, with palpitations and anxiety. Could this be heart-related, or is something else going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart health, especially considering your family history of heart problems and your high lipid profile. Given your symptoms of pressure in the middle of the chest, breathing difficulties, dizziness, and dragging sensation on the left front shoulder, it is important to take these symptoms seriously. Considering your risk factors and symptoms, it would be advisable to start taking a medication to manage your high LDL, TG, Hscrp, and Lp(a) levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related issues. Additionally, to help with your symptoms of chest pressure, palpitations, and anxiety, you can take a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help manage these symptoms and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management, as they may consider additional tests or adjustments to your treatment plan based on your current symptoms and risk factors.
