I have grade 3.5-4 mitral valve regurgitation but my cardiologist says I should wait for surgery since it's currently grade II-IV. I'm 39 should I push for surgery now or is waiting the right call? Feeling unsure about the timing.

View allI'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of a bigger issue, and what might help ease the pain?

I'm really concerned because I was told my ECG showed NSR incomplete, and I'm experiencing some weird symptoms like heaviness in my head, weakness, lower back ache, mild chest pain on the left side, and even some gastritis. Could this all be related? Should I be worried about how these symptoms are connected?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to address each issue individually. For the incomplete NSR on ECG, it may indicate a potential heart rhythm abnormality. To help regulate your heart rhythm, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. For the heaviness in head and weakness, it could be related to your blood pressure. You can take Amlodipine (5-10mg) once daily to help lower your blood pressure and improve blood flow. For lower back ache, you can take Ibuprofen (400-600mg) every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation reduction. For the mild pain in the left chest, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. You can take Aspirin (81mg) daily to help prevent any potential clot formation. For gastritis, you can take Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate symptoms.

I'm really concerned because over the last three months, I've been noticing that my heart occasionally skips a beatit happens about an hour a day. My blood pressure is also around 14090. I've had some tests done, like an echo and a Holter monitor, and my doctor mentioned something about trivial mitral regurgitation. Should I be worried about this and the skipped heartbeats? What does all of this mean for my heart health?
Trivial mitral regurgitation is a common finding and usually does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. As for the skipped heart beats, if they are occasional and not causing any other symptoms, they may not be concerning. However, since you are experiencing them frequently, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress and anxiety. If your doctor deems it necessary, they may prescribe medications such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further management.
