I'm feeling really anxious because my heartbeat keeps increasing suddenly, and I get this chest pain. I had an echo test, and it came back normal. I also did Holter monitoring, which showed my maximum heart rate was 141, the minimum was 59, and the average was 80. What could be going on with me, and what should I do next?

Your symptoms of increased heartbeat, ghabrahat (anxiety), and chest pain could be due to anxiety or a heart condition. Since your echo and halter monitoring results are normal, it is less likely to be a serious heart issue. To manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a low dose of 25mg once daily. This can help control your heart rate and reduce the feelings of palpitations and chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation can also help alleviate anxiety symptoms. It is important to stay hydrated, get regular exercise, and maintain a healthy diet to support your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

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.
