I'm a bit worried after my full body health check-up. The ECG and stress ECG turned out normal, but the 2D Echo showed I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. And there were some issues in my chest X-ray too. I also have diabetes and I'm on medication for that. Plus, I've got a hernia operation coming up next week. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Should I go see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist?

View allI'm 26 and just got a report saying I have mild tricuspid regurgitation. I'm really worried about whether this could become moderate or even severe. How long does it usually take for this to progress? Please help, I'm pretty scared.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can progress over time, but it is not possible to predict exactly how long it will take to progress from mild to moderate or severe. The progression of TR can be influenced by various factors such as underlying heart conditions, lifestyle choices, and overall health. It is important to monitor your condition regularly with follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can discuss with your doctor about potential treatment options or lifestyle changes that can help manage TR and prevent it from worsening.

I'm still experiencing this pin-pointing chest pain even though my ECG was normal and my cholesterol level dropped from 207 to 140 after some diet changes. I also got a TMT done and it was negative. But now, the pain seems to be spreading to my left hand too. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain rather than a cardiac issue. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest and left hand pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with any muscle tension contributing to the pain. It is also important to continue following a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain your cholesterol levels. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

What could it mean if Sorbitrate 5 tastes really bitter when you keep it under your tongue? My relative is dealing with hypertension and I'm a bit worried.
When sorbitrate 5 feels really bitter when you keep it under your tongue, it could be due to the medication coming into contact with taste buds. This is a common side effect of sublingual medications. To reduce the bitter taste, you can try drinking a small amount of water before taking the medication. Additionally, ensure that the medication is placed directly under the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely. If the bitterness persists or if there are any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
