I'm a 45-year-old guy and lately, I've been feeling these weird, increased palpitations and some breathlessness. A buddy of mine had these same symptoms and it turned out to be mitral valve prolapse. Can you tell me what symptoms come with mitral valve prolapse? I'm trying to figure out if that's what I might be dealing with.

Increased palpitations and breathlessness can be symptoms of mitral valve prolapse. Other symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, and a feeling of fluttering in the chest. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold recently, and I've been on antibiotics for it. When I checked my blood pressure, it was at 160100, which has me a bit worried. I did take a tablet called Stardol for muscle pain a few days ago. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure or anything else? Would love some guidance.

Get your pressures checked again. If high meet doctor and start medicines . Avoid extra salt. Get a 2DEcho and Ultrasound abdomen.

I'm experiencing a mild pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could you recommend a medicine that might help? If it doesn't get better, I'm thinking of coming in for a check-up and more treatment. What do you suggest?

I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for your mild chest pain on the left side. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.
