I'm 24 and have been doing endurance training for the last four years. Recently, I found out I have a mitral prolapse after visiting a cardiologist because of an irregular pulse. The doctor said my heart rate is normal based on the Holter Monitoring Test and told me to avoid heavy activities but didn't prescribe any meds. I've been asked to do a 2D Echo test yearly. Given my background in fitness, I'm curious if it's okay for me to keep up with moderate levels of running and cycling. What do you think?

It is important to follow the advice of your cardiologist to avoid putting strain on your heart. However, you can continue with moderate levels of Running and Cycling. To support your heart health, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the strain on your heart during physical activities. Remember to have regular follow-ups with your cardiologist and monitor your heart health closely.

View allIs there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.
For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really puzzled about my mom's test results. Her echocardiogram showed an LVEF of 40-45, but a recent cardiac MRI said it's just 25. This just doesn't seem right because she's not showing any serious symptomsno shortness of breath, no swelling in her legs or stomach. She goes about her day without any issues at all. Could there be an error with the cardiac MRI?
It is possible that there could be a discrepancy between the two imaging tests. However, it is important to follow up with your cardiologist to discuss these findings and determine the best course of action. In the meantime, medications like Carvedilol (Coreg) at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily and Lisinopril (Zestril) at a dosage of 5mg once daily can be considered to help improve heart function.

I'm dealing with some chest congestion and mild pain, and my doctor has put me on Rosuvas for high cholesterol and Metaprolol for blood pressure. They've also prescribed Myospaz for the pain if I need it. Is it safe to take Myospaz alongside Metaprolol and Rosuvas?
Yes, you can take myospaz along with metaprolol and Rosuvas. Myospaz contains paracetamol and dicyclomine which can help relieve pain and discomfort. The usual dosage for myospaz is 1-2 tablets every 6-8 hours as needed for pain. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and frequency as advised by your doctor.
