I sometimes feel like there's an extra heartbeat in my chest, especially when I bend down. Could this be related to my mild tricuspid regurgitation? I'm really worried about it.

Yes, palpitations can be related to mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). To help manage your symptoms, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of extra heartbeats. Remember to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.
