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 really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?

I'm 26 and I've been having anxiety symptoms. A couple of months ago, I experienced episodes of sinus tachycardia, and the ECG showed sinus tachycardia with ST and T wave depression in leads II, III, and AVF. I've had more ECGs since then with similar results, but my 2D echo was normal. My doctor suggested a TMT, which returned borderline positive with a low likelihood of significant CAD. During the TMT, METS was 8.8, BP was 15080, and the max heart rate was 187. I didn't feel any chest pain during the exercise. Do you think an angiogram is necessary, and what could be causing those ST and T wave changes?

I've been experiencing this off-and-on chest tightness and shortness of breath for several years now. It's like I can't catch my breath sometimes, and I have to take deep breaths to feel okay. I don't have any medical history, and Im not on any meds. I saw a couple of doctors, and they said it might be panic attacks. My ECG came back normal, but it seems to get worse when I lie down. Occasionally, I feel like I need to yawn to fully catch my breath. Could you help me understand what's going on?
