Is there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.

For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a bit confused about how often someone should get a 2D Echo and ECG if they're feeling perfectly fine. Should it be done once a year or more? And what if someone starts showing symptoms; how does that change things? Would love to get a bit more clarity on this.
For a healthy person without any symptoms, it is generally recommended to do a 2D Echo and ECG once every 1-2 years for routine screening. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate testing frequency.

I've recently had a TMT test done and I'm trying to wrap my head around the results. The test summary says Total Time is 631, Max HR Attained is 184 bpm, and it's 96% of my target, which is 191. It also mentions Max BP is 190100 and Max workload is 7.6 with Bruce Protocol. My doctor said everything looks fine and that I shouldn't worry, but I just want to make sure all these values are normal. Could you help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about or if it's all really okay?

I've been experiencing a pricking pain on the top left side of my chest and some slight breathing difficulties, especially when I talk. Plus, I've noticed an extra heartbeat occasionally. My GP suggested an ECG, and I'm wondering if there's anything serious going on here. About three months ago, I had a similar issue but my tests like an echo came back normal. Should I be concerned or take any further action?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and some chest discomfort. Since your ECG, VOLT, and echo results are normal, it is good news that there are no major underlying issues. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) 400mg as needed for any chest discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your GP for further evaluation and management.
