I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat suddenly speeds up while I'm sleeping, but it goes back to normal after a few minutes. Should I be concerned about this?

This sudden increase in heart rate during sleep could be due to a condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). To help manage this, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in this case is 25-100mg per day, as prescribed by a doctor. It helps to regulate the heart rate and prevent episodes of rapid heartbeat. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I just got all my heart check-ups done. The results for my ECG, ECHO, and TMT seemed fine, but my echo report mentioned something about trivial tricuspid regurgitation and trivial mitral regurgitation. My doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but I'm eager to start some physical activity like gym workouts and swimming to lose weight. Is it safe for me to go ahead with cardio and strength training with these heart conditions?

yes mild exercises are advised.
