I'm having this issue where I feel chest tightness when I'm lying on my back, but it's fine when I sleep on my side. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to anxiety or some other health issue? I'm really worried and need some guidance.

Chest tightness when lying on your back that improves when you sleep on your side could be related to several factors, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety. To determine the cause, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough evaluation and may suggest lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding large meals before bedtime, elevating the head of your bed, or addressing anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy. Your doctor can also rule out any serious cardiac or pulmonary conditions.

I recently got an echo report showing mild tr and trivial mr but my LVEF is 70 with normal LV function. I'm a football player with no symptoms but worried about the valve leakage. Should I be concerned about the mild tr? Does this mean I need surgery or can I continue playing sports? The report says everything else is normal but I'm anxious about the leak.

cardiologist opinion is advised.

Is a dry cough a sign of heart problems?

A weak heart causes fluid to back up in the lungs. This can cause shortness of breath with exercise or difficulty breathing at rest or when lying flat in bed. Lung congestion can also cause a dry, hacking cough or wheezing.
