I'm 26 and just got a report saying I have mild tricuspid regurgitation. I'm really worried about whether this could become moderate or even severe. How long does it usually take for this to progress? Please help, I'm pretty scared.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can progress over time, but it is not possible to predict exactly how long it will take to progress from mild to moderate or severe. The progression of TR can be influenced by various factors such as underlying heart conditions, lifestyle choices, and overall health. It is important to monitor your condition regularly with follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can discuss with your doctor about potential treatment options or lifestyle changes that can help manage TR and prevent it from worsening.

View allI've been dealing with some serious chest pain for the last five months, and along with that, I've been feeling really weak and fatigued. My stamina has dropped a lot, and I get tired super quickly. On top of that, my heart races really fast. My resting heart rate is usually around 80 to 90, but if I start walking, it shoots up to 120, and just climbing two floors slowly takes it to around 160. Is this something to worry about? I had an ECG done, and it came back normal, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any insights on this would be really helpful.
Based on your symptoms and heart rate response to physical activity, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. You may be experiencing symptoms of angina or heart failure. I recommend you start taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (50mg) to help lower your heart rate and reduce chest pain. Additionally, you should also take a blood thinner like Aspirin (75mg) to prevent blood clots. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit puzzled about my blood pressure readings. I got a TMT, ECG, and blood tests for my heart, and everything came back normal. But sometimes when I check my BP, the first reading is 15090, and then right after, it drops to 13090. It's happened a couple of times. Why could this be happening?
Sometimes, blood pressure readings can vary due to factors such as stress, anxiety, or even the environment in which the measurement is taken. This is known as white coat hypertension. To help manage this issue, you can try practicing relaxation techniques before getting your blood pressure checked. Additionally, you may consider taking medication like Amlodipine 5mg to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
