Question

I'm having some issues with my medication. I was prescribed Dytor 5 tablets because I have MVP and moderate MR, but every time I take them, I start feeling really drowsy, my hands turn reddish, and my heart starts pounding. Initially, my doctor advised one tablet daily, but when I mentioned these symptoms, he suggested increasing the dosage to 12 tablets a day. However, Im still feeling dizzy all the time. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? What should I do?

Its better to switch to another tablet but better to rule out further why you are getting such symptoms and give right treatment

Question

I'm looking at my echocardiography report and I'm a bit worried. It says things like IVSTD 03 mm, LVPWD 07 mm, LVIDd 70 mm, FS 13, LVIDs 61 mm, and EF 28. I'm not sure what all of that means, but I'm concerned about whether these measurements are okay. Am I actually fit? Can you help me understand this?

Question

I'm really confused about my recent echo results. Two months ago, it showed mild tricuspid valve regurgitation, and after making some lifestyle changes and a follow-up echo, it's now showing trivial regurgitation and valve thickening. I'm not sure what these changes mean or what I should do next. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to address this? I've included my report if that helps.

Question

Ive been getting this mild shortness of breath after playing badminton for a short while, and it sticks around for about 15 to 20 minutes even when I'm just resting. Should I be concerned about this? Any advice would be really appreciated!
