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 really worried about my dad. He's 68 and the doctors said he has an enlarged heart. His heart rate is just 20 right now, and he had bypass surgery 4 years ago. There haven't been any problems recently, but after an echo test, they noticed his heart has gotten bigger. What should we do next?
Enlarged heart, also known as cardiomegaly, can be a serious condition, especially in individuals with a history of heart surgery like your father. A heart rate of 20 beats per minute is extremely low and can be life-threatening. It is important to seek immediate medical attention in such cases. In this situation, your father may need a pacemaker to regulate his heart rate and prevent complications. Additionally, medications such as Metoprolol or Carvedilol can be prescribed to help manage his heart condition and prevent further enlargement of the heart. The dosage will depend on his specific health status and needs, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this left upper chest pain along with a sensation of irritation or discomfort near the right side of my throat and towards the end of my molar teeth for the last 3-4 days. It's really worrying me. About 2 months ago, I had some heart tests done, but everything came back normal. I do have a BP of 14090 though and was taking TELMA H for two months. I quit smoking 6 months ago and used to smoke around 23 cigarettes a day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
