I'm really concerned because for the last three months, my heart has been skipping beats every half an hour or so. My blood pressure is recorded at 14090. I've seen a cardiologist and had tests like an echo, ECG, and holter done. My doctor has put me on Olmesar 20 for my blood pressure and Ciplar LA 20 mg for 15 days. I'm really worried about the trivial mitral regurgitation and these skipped heartbeats. What should I be expecting or doing about this?
Trivial mitral regurgitation is a common condition where a small amount of blood flows backward through the mitral valve with each heartbeat. It usually does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. As for your skipped heartbeats, also known as palpitations, they can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, or certain medications. Your doctor has prescribed Olmesar 20 for your blood pressure and Ciplar LA 20 mg for 15 days to help with your heart rate. Olmesar is a brand name for Olmesartan, which helps lower blood pressure. Ciplar LA is a brand name for Propranolol, which can help regulate your heart rate.
