I'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?

There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.

View allI've been experiencing this odd sensation lately where my heart feels like it's beating right in the middle of my chest, and sometimes it even feels like it's hitting my throat. It usually lasts just a few seconds and then goes away. Should I be worried about this? Is it a sign of something serious?
This sensation could be due to heart palpitations, which are often harmless but can sometimes be a sign of an underlying heart condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) as needed to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...
