You must be evaluated and started on medications appropriately. Do some lifestyle modifications too such as low salt diet, physical activity daily and quit smoking, alcohol.

I'm a 13-year-old boy with a hole in my heart, and my parents didn't go for the surgery. What kind of problems could this cause for me now and later in life? Will it get worse as I grow older?

A heart defect can cause breathlessness, fatigue, or infections later in life. Get an echocardiogram. If large, surgery may be needed before adulthood.

I'm really worried about my relative who had MVR surgery a year ago. Yesterday, he experienced severe abdominal pain and his blood pressure shot up to 190100, but it's back to normal now. His troponin level came back at 0.0527. Could you help me understand what this means for his heart health? Should we be concerned?

I'm pretty worried right now because my heart rate is 92102 per minute while I'm just laying down. It's making me feel really nervous and even more sick. Plus, my left hand and the left side of my back (not right in the middle) are aching. Could this be some kind of warning sign?

Your symptoms of increased heart rate, nervousness, left hand ache, and left side back pain could be due to anxiety or stress. However, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. I recommend you take a tablet of propranolol 10mg to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety. You can take it up to three times a day as needed. Additionally, you can take acetaminophen 500mg for the left hand and back pain. Make sure to rest and try some relaxation techniques to help alleviate your symptoms.
