I'm 25 and just got my 2D echo mvp report. It says mvp grade I trivial MR and normal LV function. Should I be concerned about anything here? What exactly does this mean for my heart health, and do I need to take any action or follow-ups?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your 2D echo report shows Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) with trivial Mitral Regurgitation (MR) and normal Left Ventricular (LV) function. Since you are 25 years old, it is important to monitor this condition regularly. You can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help manage symptoms and prevent complications associated with MVP.

View allI'm dealing with high cholesterol, and my LDL is 220. I dont really have any physical issues, but I do snore quite a bit. I avoid smoking and drinking, so that's not a factor. Do you think I should see a cardiologist or just a general physician for this cholesterol issue? Also, is medication necessary for my LDL level, or can I simply make some changes to my diet?
For managing high cholesterol, including an LDL level of 220 mgdL, it's advisable to consult a cardiologist, given the significant elevation and the associated cardiovascular risks. A cardiologist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Whether you require medication or can manage your cholesterol through lifestyle changes depends on your overall risk profile, including age, family history, and any other health conditions. Typically, an LDL level of 220 mgdL would warrant the use of statin medications in addition to adopting heart-healthy dietary changes, such as reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing fiber intake, and incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take my blood pressure while I'm lying down or if I should always be in a sitting position. Does the blood pressure reading change when I'm lying down compared to when I'm sitting?
It is generally recommended to measure blood pressure while sitting, as this is the standard position for accurate readings. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to measure blood pressure while lying down, especially for patients who have difficulty sitting or standing. Blood pressure readings can vary depending on body position, with readings typically lower when lying down compared to sitting or standing.
