I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness, even without pushing myself too hard physically. I had an echocardiogram, and it turns out I have mitral valve prolapse with just mild mitral regurgitation. Is it usual to have these symptoms with only mild regurgitation? Also, it's been tough not being active, and I've dropped to an underweight level. To top it off, I've been experiencing erectile dysfunction. Could this be linked to the mitral valve prolapse?

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 90 and 100 beats per minute, even after starting a beta blocker. I'm taking Metocard XL 50 mg. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is there anything I should do differently?

I'm really worried about my mom. She had CABG surgery about four months ago, and ever since, she's been dealing with a dry cough. I recently had her get an X-ray, and luckily, it showed everything's normal. But I'm still concerned. Is this something we should be worried about? Could it be related to her surgery or is it something else entirely?
Since your mother's X-ray showed everything is normal, it is less likely to be a serious issue. To help alleviate the dry cough, you can give her a cough suppressant like Delsym (dextromethorphan) 30mg every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, she can try using a humidifier at home to keep the air moist. If the dry cough persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with her cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
