I'm feeling pretty worried after getting my recent full body check-up results. The echo report showed something unusual, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Sometimes I get really anxious, and when I was getting the echo done, my heartbeat was racing at about 110 to 120 beats per minute because I was so scared. Could you take a look at my echo report and tell me what steps I should take next or if everything seems okay? The report mentions Mild MR and TR PASP at 32 mm Hg and LVEF at 65, but everything else seems normal. What should I do?

In your echo report, it mentions that you have mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 32 mmHg. Your left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 65%, which is within the normal range. Based on the information provided, everything seems to be normal except for the mild MR and TR. Given your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing an elevated heart rate during the echo, it is important to address your anxiety. To manage anxiety and potentially reduce the impact on your heart rate, you can consider taking medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg three to four times daily. It is also advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss the findings of your echo report and to determine if any further evaluation or treatment is necessary. Regular follow-ups and monitoring may be recommended to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?

Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence

What is normal blood pressure by age?

In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.
