I'm a 39-year-old guy who's overweight and just found out I have mitral valve prolapse. Do I need surgery for this or will I be on medication forever? Also curious if Ayurveda offers any effective treatments for this condition

I'm trying to understand my latest ECG report. It mentions "Sinus Rhythm," a normal axis, and a short PR interval. Could this indicate any issues? Also, I'm on Thyronorm 25 mg for the last 3 years, and my TSH level is at 4.8. Does this all sound normal, or should I be concerned?

I've been having this chest pain for a few days now and sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, I get these heart palpitations and feel short of breath. It honestly feels like I'm going to die, and it's making it hard for me to get any sleep. I went to a general physician recently and explained everything. The doctor just checked my pulse and listened to my heart with a stethoscope and said theres nothing to worry about. But can I actually trust that? I keep feeling like something's wrong with my heart, but the doctor didnt suggest any tests. Should I get some tests to check my heart health, or am I overthinking this? What would you advise?

it seems like there may not be an immediate cause for concern regarding heart health. However, if your symptoms persist, worsen, or cause you significant distress, its perfectly reasonable to ask for further testing to rule out heart conditions and also explore the possibility of anxiety-related symptoms. If you're still unsure or worried, I recommend having a follow-up consultation with your doctor or seeking a cardiology specialist for more specific tests, such as an ECG or echocardiogram.
