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.

I'm feeling a bit worried because for the past four days, I've been taking Monotrate 10mg and have noticed an irregular heartbeat. It seems to be getting better with the medication, but it's still there. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will resolve as I continue with the Monotrate? What should I do next?

I'm trying to figure out which beta blocker is better for dealing with anxiety and arrhythmia between propranolol and metoprolol succinate. Could you help me understand the differences? I'm curious if one is more effective than the other or has fewer side effects. Can you advise on what might be best for me?
Regarding anxiety and arrhythmia, both propranolol and metoprolol succinate are commonly used beta blockers. However, propranolol is typically preferred for anxiety due to its additional effects on reducing physical symptoms of anxiety such as tremors and palpitations. On the other hand, metoprolol succinate is often preferred for arrhythmias due to its specific effects on the heart's electrical activity. For anxiety, propranolol is usually prescribed at a dose of 20-40mg taken 2-3 times daily as needed. For arrhythmias, metoprolol succinate is typically prescribed at a dose of 25-100mg once daily. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition.
