I'm a 45-year-old guy and lately, I've been feeling these weird, increased palpitations and some breathlessness. A buddy of mine had these same symptoms and it turned out to be mitral valve prolapse. Can you tell me what symptoms come with mitral valve prolapse? I'm trying to figure out if that's what I might be dealing with.

Increased palpitations and breathlessness can be symptoms of mitral valve prolapse. Other symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, and a feeling of fluttering in the chest. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my dad's blood pressure readings. He's 61 and has high blood pressure, so he's been on medication. Recently, during a check-up, his readings were 90 and 126. But here's the thing thats puzzling me his blood pressure was higher in his right arm than his left by about 10 points. I'm really curious about what could cause this difference. Is it something we should be worried about?
This difference in blood pressure between arms is known as inter-arm blood pressure difference. It can be caused by various factors such as differences in blood vessel stiffness, blockages, or narrowing in the arteries of one arm compared to the other. It can also be due to conditions like atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease. To address this issue, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, he can continue taking his high blood pressure medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help control his blood pressure levels.
